TRIGGER WARNING

Lila

She'd been awake since the small hours of the morning. Her ribs hurt and the pain was spreading so that her whole body felt achy. It hurt to breathe. It was useful, though. Because she learned something: The window, the glass obscured with a thick, frosting to the glass, had gone from black to full sunlight like someone turned on a switch. Which meant, that's exactly what they'd done. 

What she'd taken as sunlight coming through the windows was apparently just one of those lights that appeared like sunlight. 

So she wasn't on the edge of a building at all. She was boxed in. She wasn't sure how it would help to know that, but she made the mental note, just in case. It was one of the things Dane had told her: Notice everything. Remember everything. Even the smallest details might be important.
