[ With the exception of specific times she has to work, and the hours required to care for her horse, Julie has spent every single moment of the past month in the Horizon. She simply doesn't have the desire to be in this shitty place, when she can instead go be miserable like a civilized person, with weed and junk food and television reruns. Sure, it's all fake, but what's the difference now anyway? It feels real.
Really, it's sheer luck that Nadine catches her while she's in her room. She does make it a point to stay out long enough to bathe at least every other day, and that's what she's getting ready to do when Nadine knocks. She stops in her tracks, in just her chemise and with bare feet, and stares at the door.
She doesn't know what to do. Every instinct she has screams Ignore it, and she wants to almost out of sheer stubbornness. But that one, tiny voice niggles at her, whispers Listen, and despite her hesitation, she reaches out to the doorknob.
The door slowly cracks open, no more than a few inches, and one side of Julie's face glares out. It's not the hate or disgust she's shown for other people before, showed to Nadine way back at the very beginning -- instead, her face is contorted with fury, pain. Betrayal. ]
