FRED: Are you feeling any better? (Angel doesn't react.) It's okay. You don't have to talk. I'm used to it.

ANGEL: They, they saw it. They, they looked right at it. They saw it...

FRED: Saw what?

ANGEL: The monster... They-they saw what I really am. I can't go back. Not now. I can never go back. No...

FRED: It's okay. You - you could stay here.

(Fred looks around her little cave, while Angel lies there breathing raggedly.)
