"Whoa, wait, what? Wait." Scotty didn't need to hear all the details that Kai was withholding. He didn't even need to see her nervous tic, which he did, but didn't comment on. He grabbed her shoulder to pull her to a stop, turning so he could look at her better. He put his other hand on her other shoulder before just pulling her to him, into a big hug that he wasn't sure that she needed as much as he needed to give her one. He'd heard about things that They had done to everyone, and at this point had even found Tobias locked in a jail cell, so he had an idea of what could happen, but this was the first time that someone had told him something that had given him real chills. This wasn't ghosts or bullies. This was being locked in a confined space overnight.
"Holy shit," he muttered as he gave her a squeeze, then took a step back. "I thought you said that they treated you okay. That's fucking... not."
