[He's buried in his blanket pile and his eyes are peering out to stare at the fish in the tank, but when he hears Beck he doesn't do anything to stop her from approaching. Instead, he lets his gaze slide her way, sinking further into the pile.]

...hey. [There's a 50/50 chance he's very cold or he's flat-out hiding, but who knows.]

[uncurtained]

[She doesn't ask how he's doing, because... Well, she can probably guess. She does take a seat next to him, though, making sure she isn't close enough to touch him.]

You want to talk about it...?

[crashout]

I don't know. [Honesty, at least.] I know this is what had to happen, but I still wanted things to turn out differently.

[uncurtained]

I don't think you're alone there.

[...]

You two were pretty close, right?

[crashout]

As close as you can be with people you're sharing a room with, I guess. [...] I would consider her a good friend. She kept our room balanced, I never felt like anything was weird. And she was always really nice and helpful with my goals here.

[uncurtained]

[She tilts her head.]

Your goals?

[crashout]

Yeah. Figuring out how to get us out of here. Is...that surprising?

[uncurtained]

No, I was just curious about whether there was anything else. We haven't really talked about that kind of thing for a while.

[crashout]

[There's a quiet, unsteady breath.]

Beck, one of the things you have to know about me is that I'm always looking for an answer to something. There's a lot happening in this place that we've barely scratched the surface of. Even with the different things I'm trying to do here, they all lead back to the same place.

[Seek a way out.]

[uncurtained]

[There's another look, lightly curious.]

What different things are you trying?

[crashout]

Different routes, different ways to barter for information from our hosts...I want to start looking into more of those locked rooms again. There's only so much I can do with everyone else's information.

[He's burrowing further into his blankets.] Maybe if I'd paid better attention this wouldn't have happened. I don't really know. [It's not even blame. It's really just factual and not knowing possibilities.]
