Me and Rodney didn't exactly make it to the mystery building across the way, though. We had to stop for the night and--

Whatever is--there, whatever Dogtown is, it's-- [He can't describe it. How can he describe it?] --we shouldn't be there. They were angry at us. But there's something in that building across the river, I just know it. Maybe it's the answer to all of this.

But her tone gets a little more gentle when he struggles. She can understand scared and traumatized and freaked out by your own head just fine.]
You probably just got really scared and your body acted without your head weighing in. It happens sometimes. It's kind've awful and terrifying.
