Notes: Remember the girl from the start of the episode?

 

Her name was Melanie, when she was alive. But now that’s she’s dead, she can’t remember.

Around her, everything is hazy, like she’s in a cloud. Not that she remembers what clouds are. She doesn’t; she can’t remember anything. She moves her arms and hands, waves them, bats at the mist she can’t feel but can see, and wonders.

She hears others, sometimes. Crying, begging, screaming. She never makes a sound.

Sometimes, she hears him. He’s loud, takes up more space then she thinks she ever could. He murmurs, mutters, whispers, and often, lightly touches her hair. Him, she can feel; her skin burns when it comes in contact with his.

Her name was Melanie, back when she was alive. She used to think about Heaven, when Mom dragged her to church. Used to think long and hard about God and the afterlife and doing what was right because it was right, not for a reward. She used to pray every night, for forgiveness and mercy, for Dad to get better, even if it was cancer and the doctors said nothing could be done, for Vince training to be a soldier, for that job to come through so she could get out of Mom’s hair.

Her name was Melanie and she can’t remember it, can’t remember anything but the feel of his spectral hand on her and his useless breath against her face and his voice echoing in her ears: So pretty.
