Thanks to Will, Bridgette has a box of crayons and is putting them to good use.
She's lying on her tummy in the Cooper living room, drawing. A few pictures are scattered around: a blonde-haired girl riding a green and red horse with a huge blue horn. A big tree with black, jagged leaves (or are they birds?), with large red lumps underneath it. Something that might be a lizard, striped and spotted with every colour in the crayon box, floating on a cloud. A man in a green hat with his hand on the shoulder of a young boy with bright red hair. A rainbow.
She's staring thoughtfully at a blank sheet of paper. Possibly the artist does not mind being interrupted.

("Bridgette, you have to take Marie and run. Run and don't stop."
"But-- what about you?" There are gunshots in the distance. They have guns. Footsteps are coming closer, heavy boots thudding against the ground.
"Go, Bridge. We'll meet up soon. I dreamed it."
Bridgette wishes she could see Ariel's face, but it's too dark. She hugs her sister, and Ariel breaks it a moment later.
"Take care of Marie."
Bridgette turns and bolts, her hand damp, clenched tight over Marie's.)
Ariel lied to her. Did she lie about the dream, too? They haven't met up yet....
With a sob, Bridgette leans into Alice's arms.

What Alice would be saying, if she weren't busy: I can't go, you idiot, your sister needs me.

"GO!" Marie shrieks - and then launches herself at Alice's closest arm, attempting to pry it from Bridgette.

The flicker gets a confused stare from Bridgette, but only for a moment - she has many more issues to deal with now.
"Okay, Bridge, okay," Marie whispers as she clings.
"'M sorry, really sorry...." Bridgette sobs.
Marie is three. She will always be three, and will never understand why her sister is sorry.
