She spends the entire day sitting in a chair and staring out the window, and seems disinterested in talking about her experiences with others. Her friends haven’t had any luck getting her out of the house to do anything. One of her friends asked her what was wrong, and Laura replied with, “We are all just animals, feeding on one another to prolong our short, pointless lives. And that’s never going to change.” Laura’s friends tried to get her out of the house for six weeks, but gave up after that.

A year later, Leo often wakes with nightmares about his arm being cut off by large pieces of ice and panics whenever he sees a large truck.
