If I'm completely honest? It's because the alternative is letting this place get to me. It seems like we jump from one hell to another, and it's....exhausting. But we can't let it win. If we stay strong, and fight back, then we can survive this.

[She had to believe it. If she didn't, she might just fetal position in their house and never leave it again. But that wasn't who Caitlyn was. She wasn't one to back down, and just let the bad win.]
