Nate looks at her like she's the crazy one for a moment, frowning. "He's right here," he says, pointing a bloodied hand at the body in his lap. Lila doesn't strike him as crazy though, and Nate takes a moment to consider the fact that she apparently can't see Sam. That's impossible, because he's right here, but he doesn't think she's cruel enough to play that kind of trick.
"You don't see him," he says, and when he says the words it's like something switches, and suddenly Sam is gone. A moment later Nate blinks and he's back again, his breath coming in rattling gasps.
"I think I'm losing it," he says, blinking once, twice. If he is going crazy this is probably the worst way it could happen, he thinks, but he's also not all that surprised. It stands to reason that he'd crack eventually. He'd thought it had happened in the desert, but then he'd ended up here. Maybe home has finally caught up to him.
