[... Something about hearing it from the mouth of someone who it actually happened to... hearing how... makes Heather's throat tighten. Part-- even MOST-- is out of sympathy. Sadness and anger at the fact that this girl had to endure that. Still does. ... But a little piece is fear. Because he's appeared to her too. And she is so scared of things like what Laura is saying.]
[But she swallows. Because the last thing she can do right now is show fear.]
[She has to be strong. FOR Laura.]
[So she bites back the fear and focuses on the anger.]
That piece of shit.
[It might seem sort of inappropriate to respond with a simple insult, but there's a spitting hiss in her voice that adequately displays the violent emotion behind the relatively tame words.]
