Do you realize I could be watching Freaks right now? There's no justice. Fred's staring about her room as Angel pokes his head in. He asks how she is, and Fred answers, "Kinda weird and fizzy. But excited. A little sad. Thankful. Sort of cautiously happy. Relieved and worried at the same time. Slightly nauseous [sic] while still being hopeful." Angel looks around at the graffiti and asks if she'll remember all of her notes. Fred says she will, because it's a story. She turns to the walls and tells the story, which is a little fairy tale that I think could be summed up by saying -- can you guess? -- "Handsome man saved her from the monsters." In case we don't quite get it yet, she has more to say: "The minute they got back to the castle, the handsome man went away again. And even though she didn't mean to, didn't want to, high up in that castle tower, the girl just built herself another cave. Hoping he would save her again." She tells Angel that he can't save her this time. From what? From her loving parents? There aren't enough "whatever"s in the world for me right now.
