Elle was alone, she just wanted to get out of this place but she had so many problems that the doctors didn't want to let her out. Maybe she'd always be here. She was glad that Claire was coming to visit her. She missed her a lot. She had found herself missing a lot of people at the Hyperion now. She wanted to go back sometimes, but after what she'd done...she didn't think they'd let her back in.
She hated feeling this way, it was better not to feel at all. But she couldn't stop feeling now, no matter how much she tried. She looked up when she heard that gentle knock. "Come in, Claire."
