[It's really a wonder that a group of eight teenagers had all been sober that night that they encountered the wendigos, a year after Hannah and Beth had disappeared. But it's definitely a good thing; it had been hard enough to survive without the potential hindrances that even being slightly drunk would've brought.
A moment of poor decision making or fractionally slow reflexes and there would've been far fewer survivors, Chris included.
He shrugs again, a little, at her words; not to dismiss them, but because at this point it just is what it is. It's still surreal that this is what his life has turned into, but he's trying to accept it and figure out the best way to proceed even if the trauma of it all can make that task sometimes feel impossible.
But that's part of the reason he wanted to check on her, too. He has his friends--he even has, as crazy as it is to think about, his girlfriend--here with him, when things get really difficult, and can't imagine having to deal with what happened at home, or here, alone. He doesn't want Maketh to have to deal with it alone either.]
Thanks.
There's a lot of things that shouldn't have happened. To a lot of people.
