EVENTUALLY, DAWN FALLS ASLEEP.

It takes a long time and she’s not even sure how it happens, and it’s likely she wouldn’t even realize she’d fallen asleep except that something happens to make Dawn suddenly very conscious of the fact she’s awake.

Like she was lying there in a dream state of cold and wetness, some kind of trance, without ever realizing she’d drifted off.

It’s only when she comes back to the crevice that Dawn realizes she was gone.

Because wherever Dawn was a few moments ago, she was there alone. In her head, in her thoughts.

(With her dad.)

She’d forgotten about Lucas; he was elsewhere.

But he’s here now.

He’s here, and he’s in a bad spot.

And Dawn’s instantly awake.
