Hey! [ dodges on instinct even if he's not in the line of fire. ] Okay, okay, wait a minute! What do you--talk to me. How do you know it's still there?

Like this creepy, heavy presence... It makes it hard to think.
[ she wraps her arms around herself, like she's just trying to hold on to something. ]

Like a pressure? There has to be a way to try and think around it to get it to back off.
