"Great point of reference, Jane," Nicolas sighed, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Let me just look around and see where the window is, then walk there."

"I'm sorry, Nic," she murmured, an uncomfortable feeling settling in her stomach. He was never like this before... Does he not want to be my friend anymore? I suppose he'd have good reason not to... Jane spotted Tessa on the window seat and turned Nicolas in her direction. "She's straight ahead. There's nothing in the way. She's about three meters away."

"Thank you." Csne out in front of him, he walked forward, careful to sweep the ground for any signs of the start of a wall.

Tessa looked up, trying to brighten her expression as she saw Nic approach, despite knowing that it wouldn't really matter either way since it wasn't like he could see her. "Hi," she said, trying to force a cheerful tone.

Jane sat back down, a new anxiety gnawing at her. Maybe I can try talking to him later... I just hope this hasn't created a rift between us.

"So. You want to talk about the tumor?" He put his hand on the wall, carefully feeling it to avoid walking into it later.

She took a long drink from the bottle, ignoring his initial question. "You want some Firewhiskey?"

"It keeps away the headaches," she said quietly, tapping a fingernail against the glass neck of the bottle and turning again to stare out of the window.

"Some painkillers," she shrugged. "They don't work very well. Besides, they have horrible side effects."

"I'm not an alcoholic, Nic," she said with a laugh. "It could be much worse, anyway. I could be on medical marijuana or something."

"I'm coping, okay?" Tessa held up her hands. "Isn't that better than just giving up?"

"How do you call that coping?" He crossed his arms. "Coping is resisting the temptation to drive yourself deeper into the hole and actually work on keeping yourself healthy enough to be able to maintain yourself! Coping is working to pull yourself out, not digging yourself in deeper!"

"Given my current situation, I'd say I'm doing pretty well," she argued, trying not to raise her voice. "Why do you care so much, anyway?"

"Because I was there. I felt the way you feel right now. And I also don't want to watch another one of the people I care about develop a big problem that will haunt them later on."

She couldn't help the humourless laugh that escaped her mouth. "I thought that you would be the one to come close to understanding how I feel, but I'm not sure you comprehend fully. I have a forty percent chance of living through this. Balance of probability is I'll die anyway."

"Then why reduce that chance even more? And then deny that you've given up?"
