"Mom isn't dying. Why can't she remember?" Hunter plays along with Ambrose's frantic worrying, hoping to get good information out of him. "Where's Ptelea sleeping at, Ambrose?" He makes his voice comforting in hopes the dazed Ambrose would trust him enough to answer openly.

"The car wreck." Ambrose shivers. "She forgot me. She forgot everything." He looks sadly into the 'distance'. "I left..Remember? You remember, you didn't get in the wreck, mom did. Crashed into that truck. Broke her leg...lost her memories. Some. The important ones. She forgot me. Forgot shifting. Mom was a flamingo. A pretty one. Dad, you stopped...you stopped everything." He shakes his head. "Ptelea's in her bed. I left. I climbed out the window. You didn't see me. You were asleep. Mom was resting...Dad, why did you make me stop. Why did you make me lie??" He gets to his feet and bangs his fists against Hunter's chest. "Why did you make me do it?!"
