Billy pulled his knees to his chest. He and John had decided to visit Molly again, to try and comfort her. A nurse had told them that she seemed to be having nightmares for some reason.

"Molly, please, hang in there. We're going to find a way to get you better, I promise," John said fiercely. His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles even whiter than normal.
