Lydia: slams door We need to talk, Mom. It's about Sarah. She ain't safe here.
Sarah’s been keeping secrets of her own..that ain’t my fault
leans in close, eyes blazing Secrets? You think that's all this is about? You don't get it, do you? This is about survival, Mom.
grabs Ella's arm forcefully Listen up, Mom. I've been watching, and I've seen the signs. There's danger lurking in these woods.
snorts dismissively Dealing with it? That's rich, coming from you. You think you can handle whatever's out there? Look at what happened to Dad!
why won’t you just come home….it’s safer here
laughs sarcastically Safer? Home? Are you kidding me, Mom? That place is a ticking time bomb.
rolls her eyes Trust me, Mom, I've seen enough to know that home is the last place we should be.
Paranoid? Me? Don't push it, Mom. I've got my eyes wide open, and I ain't afraid to see what's there. Unlike you.
then tell me…what have you seen that I haven’t
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Alright, Mom. I'll show you. But remember, you asked for this.
pulls out a hidden camera and turns it on, showing footage of strange figures lurking in the woods
smirks Let's just say I have my ways. This footage is evidence, Mom. Evidence that we're sitting ducks out here.
Ella decides to go back home and strengthen the security of their house
installs security cameras, bars on windows, double locks, security system
approaches Ella while she's installing the security system Look, Mom, I appreciate you finally taking this seriously, but it's not enough.
We need to prepare for the worst, Mom. Gather supplies, stock up on food and water, get weapons, learn self-defense.
Do you want me to buy you a gun?
smirks A gun? Nah, that's too obvious. We need something more unique, something that will give us an edge.
