Everyone sits down in front of the fireplace. Clementine falls asleep. Stella had been playing with the fringes on the blanket. She was feeling bad, but Jessica told her that the Flu hadn't gotten worse.

Clem eventually wakes up some time later. Mike crouches near Arvo.

Mike: Let me take a look at you, kid. Jesus. He coulda killed you. The fuck is wrong with him?

Jane: You're up. Kenny's out back, trying to get some stupid truck started.

Clem sits down next to Jane, who is holding a can of food.

Jane: Here. You should eat something. (gives can to Clem) you too Stella.

Clem shares some of the food with Stella.

Mike: You okay?

Arvo: Thank you.

Jane: I can't believe he's gone. I've lost people before, but... it just hasn't felt this... this shitty in a while.

Clementine: He cared about you too, Jane. I know he did.

Jane: Goddamn it...

Jane puts her head in her hand.

Jane: I shouldn't have come back. I knew this would happen. I knew it. Always does.

Clementine: Well, I'm glad you did.
Jane smiles.

Stella: I'm also glad you came back.

Mike: I'm gonna find somethin' to clean that up.

Arvo: Thank you... thank you.

Mike: I can't take this shit anymore.

Mike leaves, and Kenny enters along with Jessica.

Kenny: Feelin' better?

Clementine: Yeah.

Jessica: You ok? (She asks Stella)

Stella nods and gives Jessica a smile.

Kenny: Hell of a day. But we gotta get movin'. If you're feelin' up to it, I could use a hand out back with this truck. This house ain't worth a crap, but the vehicles ain't in bad shape. With a little luck, we can get one fixed up and be outta here by nightfall.

Clementine: Really? Now?

Kenny: Look, Clem, I know we're all hurtin', but I need your help here. Okay?

Kenny: I'll wait for ya out back.

Clem looks at AJ.

Jane: I'll watch him.

Kenny leaves. Clementine gets up and puts on her jacket.

Jane: Clem. Just... be careful.

Clementine: I'll be outside if you need me. (She tells Stella before turning and going outside.)

Jessica: Natalie is outside, go talk with her.

Stella: Alright. (She says putting on her jacket before walking outside)

Stella walks over to where Natalie was. She was playing in the snow with a stick.

Stella: Hey Natalie.

Natalie: Oh hey Stella. How are you feeling?

Stella: (she shrugs) to be honest, I'm really not sure anymore. Physically I fell, like I got ran over still, mentally I feel terrible, but also a bit happy.
