[How has Caitlyn Kiramman found herself in this rowdy, run-down tavern by the pier, surrounded by the raucous cries of fishermen and the stench of stale ale? She's asking herself that very question. It's as though she thought there might be someone... someone she knew who might frequent a place like this. As though she came here looking for them.
Her head's felt oddly scrambled the past few days, and the notebook - currently clutched tight to her chest as she makes her way stiffly and awkwardly towards the bar - isn't helping. No matter how much she tells herself it's all a fantasy, there are small kernels in it that ring so true that she can't ignore them.
She's making up her mind to leave when a woman nearby collapses with a pained cry. Caitlyn runs over to her.]
Here, let me help you. [She turns to a man sitting nearby.] Get her a cold compress, quickly. [If the woman's got a migraine or other head pain, Caitlyn needs to take her somewhere dark and quiet. And if it isn't head pain, the woman covering her eyes certainly makes it seem like she needs to be somewhere dark. So she asks the barkeep whether there's a room she can take the woman to, and he nods towards a stairway.] Come on, let's go somewhere quiet.
