The liars remain in silence the entire trip back to Rosewood. To say they felt lost would be an understatement. In one night, they had gotten Sienna back in their lives only for her to be tragically ripped away. They can't even imagine what they are going to tell the police.
Will they tell the truth? That Sienna died tonight. Or will they lie and say that Sienna died two years ago? They aren't sure. How can they respect Sienna's wishes but dismiss her sacrifice?
It all feels wrong. Sienna should still be alive. Her laughter and soul brightened the world.
The liars exited the bus but stopped when they noticed Alison remaining in the doorway, a far-off expression on her face.
"Ali, are you okay?" Hanna asks softly. It must be difficult for the girl. It was hard for all of them. But Alison was facing a world that hated her and carrying a bag of secrets. She was wounded, too. The other liars had years to grieve Sienna, but Alison was only beginning to unravel.
Alison quickly turns and attempts to rush back inside the bus, but Emily grabs her arm, "Stop. You don't need to run anymore. A is gone. Come on."
Alison takes a second to mull over her words, realizing that the four girls would never let her leave. She steps off the bus and fidgets self-consciously. Oh, how she wishes Sienna could be here.
"Ali, look, we talked about this. You know it's the right decision." Spencer reminds her.
"Maybe I should go home first, speak to my mom," Alison suggests.
"Ali, your mother buried you. And Sienna." Emily reminds her, slowly silencing at the end of her words. The girls turn away, various levels of reminiscence and tears prolonging their hearts.
"Look, I think it's more important that the police know you're alive before your mom does," Spencer says.
"Hey, yeah. You need to walk in there and tell them everything. I mean about Mona being A, Shana taking over where Mona left off, all of it." Emily tells the blonde girl. "Start with the night that you ran away."
"And what about Sienna, huh? What am I supposed to say? That we ended up in a grave together, but suddenly two other girls who looked like us ended up in it instead? Or that she accidentally killed her sister and ran away, but now she's actually dead and her body is missing? They'll think I'm a liar and won't trust any of us. They already think we killed her." Alison argues.
"We tell them that Sienna died saving your life. Because that's what she did." Spencer tells Alison, honoring their lost friend.
"I can't do this." Tears threaten to spill from Alison's eyes. "I can't."
