milly, are you there? you haven't been replying to my texts for a few days...i know something's gotta be up, so...please be ok :(
[This is only the latest of several, increasingly concerned text messages Cynthia has sent to Milly over the past three days. She's not sure what to do at this point, except to try not to get too swamped by feelings of helplessness. Even though her mind goes to the worst of possible situations, she tries to be rational about it: Milly probably just lost her phone or something. No need to freak out, Cynthia; Milly's likely just fine.]
