Ask if it sounded like a garbage disposal to her, or if you were hearing things

Lana: “Did-did the sink sound like a garbage disposal?”

Kaari: “Yeah, you turned it on.”

I take a few more deep breaths to calm down.

It’s okay, you’re in a safe space.

Right, I’m at home. I’m at home, and I’m here with Kaari.

Tell her it sounded like the fucked up plumbing at the club.
The sound, I...just gimme a moment, it'll pass.

Lana: “Just sounded like the fucked up plumbing back in the break room that night.”

Kaari: “I didn’t think the sink back there had a garbage disposal.”

Lana: “That’s the freaky part, it doesn’t. The break room sink made the same noise when I turned the water on.”

She flinches a bit, and turns away
Kaari: “L-change topics. I don’t want to think about the bar.”

Agreed, I need to get these dishes done.
