Thea and Murphy sat in silence in the cages. Thea was sitting up against the back wall shaking and sobbing quietly.
"Dot..." Murphy began but he trailed off when he realised that he had no idea what he could say to make his best friend feel any better. Thea tried to say something but Murphy couldn't hear what through her sobs, "What did you say?" He asked softly
Thea took a deep shaky breath and said, "I killed someone John, I actually killed someone, I'm a monster"
"Hey, hey look at me." Murphy said as he held his hand out through the bars, Thea looked at his hand for a minute before slowly taking it but she flinched as she did, "Thea look at me."
Thea looked up at him, "You're not a monster you are strong, and amazing, and someone who should not be friends with me."
Thea shook her head and said, "I'm not strong John."
"Yes you are, when I first got here I cried and begged you, you told them to go float themselves. Everyone would do what I did not you, you fought. To me that's the definition of strong." Murphy said
They sat in silence for a few minutes before Murphy said, "I killed my dad."
Thea turned her head and said, "You never talk about him."
Murphy nodded and said, "I know, he stole medicine when I had the flu, he got floated. It...it didn't even help me. My mother then drank herself to death. I found her in a pool of her own vomit and she said 'you killed your father' then she died to."
Thea knew Murphy well enough to know that he didn't want her to say anything or pity him so she just squeezed his hand.
"I just want this to stop." Thea said as another sob let itself out.
"We'll survive, I'm not going to let anything hurt you." Murphy said
. . . . . .
Murphy looked down at his hand which was still holding Thea's as she slept. Murphy didn't risk closing his eyes instead he just sat against the wall thinking, thinking about what he had seen and he was sure Thea would never un see it either.
