Why Grace?

As if something like this couldn't get worse, as if attacking one of us isn't bad enough, they do it to Grace, who's the sweetest girl ever. I don't even know Lotte, and why her, too? That's just fucked up. Not right. I want to do something... but what can you do? Besides track down the guys and... well. That won't happen. And something like this won't happen again, I hope. Right?

This is impossible. Who could be so stupid and horrible?

I hope Theo's okay.


Nick had gone to develop film. It was more relaxing than dealing with the Grace and Lotte issues. He was in disbelief over everything and his natural reaction was to not think about it. Developing photos was good for that.

When he finally left the dark room, smelling very slightly of chemicals, he was looking through the photos in his hands distractedly. Slow, careful steps that suggested he had no desire to look up from his pictures, but also no desire to bump into anyone.
