"He has a library and the Internet, I'm planning on figuring out for myself."

He nods and squeezes Lev's hand. 

"--If it's true we'll figure something out."

"Yeah." He squeezes Lev's hand again. "And more likely doesn't mean certain, and.

I love you." 

"Not having you in my life made me miserable."

The only way Marlo knows how to respond to that is to hug him. 

Hugs are good.

Hugs are good. 

Lev curls up on Marlo's shoulder on the ride over, and disappears into the library as soon as they get there. 

Marlo holds him on the ride over and, as soon as he disappears into the library, goes and finds Asher. 

"How is Raine doing?" Asher says immediately.

(He does not look okay.)

He debates adjectives for a moment and then lands on, "She's coping. 

She's eating more but she still hates it and she's stopped talking in group. She hasn't had to see Harry since the day after it happened. She takes a lot of showers — apparently the ones at night were just so she wouldn't be interrupted when she was shaving but I don't think anyone shaves their legs twice a day — she's been cuddling Lev at night, Christine let her —" 

"--I need to give her a hug."

"Yeah. Lev and I hug her a lot but she misses you. — I think she's been having nightmares, it's hard to tell, she doesn't talk about them." 

"She has to get out of there."

"...she's been keeping her head down so her parents don't just send her somewhere else." It's not a contradiction. 

"Except that Christine's psychic. She has to know that Raine's not straight and doesn't want to be."

"Raine thinks that if she's visibly cooperating she'll be better off than if her parents get the police involved, and I'm not sure she's wrong." 

"Not if she's getting traumatized by ex-gay camps for six months."

He nods. 

"We're doing what we can. I know it isn't enough." 

"I'm going to go talk to her."

"Tonight?" 

"I mean, I guess I could go storm the graduation? But there's no reason to believe any evening is better than any other evening."

"Then let's find Ron." 

"Seems like half the camp is winding up escaping this time."
