[Norma continues sniffling and coughing during the pause, her voice hurt and it was hard to breathe after all that screaming. Ugh, she just wants to go home now. Ha...haha, or whatever she'd call that house she lives in. It was a bad idea to go out, when she was all worked up - and now she's standing here blubbering after just bursting like a bubble. Honestly, who is this person she's become? This never used to happen - she was so good at being the happy, fun, smiley one! It was never like this before! Then again, she never did have so much to worry about before...]

I dunno... I dunno if I can make myself believe that, JJ. [She's been trying, though. Believe her when she says she has been trying.] S'why it's s-so hard...! I just wish I kn-kn-knew she w-was ok-kay! She's strong, yeah, but...b-but I dunno what they're doing to her. That's wh-why it's so scary to think about...

[She takes a deep breath, then another, and wipes her face.] ...Sorry I bit your head off.
