[ Clara keeps testing every part of her, to see if she can move, but everything feels so heavy. It seems, though, that the hauntings don't care much about being quiet or stopping what they're doing.
Ellie appears and seems unaware of the situation, simply following a script as she settles on the floor across from them. She's dressed casually, as if she might have flopped down on Clara's bed to have this tag before bed. Her mother goes on about everything Clara will do with her future, the things she'll do.
Her voice attracts one of the dead, shuffling closer to the closed door, making rasping sounds that blend in with Ellie's voice. It takes every effort, but Clara finally opens her eyes and lets herself take in her mother's face, not caring much about the dead, just wanting to soak in every expression and cadence in her voice. ]
