RAEDALE
When the party was winding down, Rose came over to us, struck up a conversation with him. Seemed pretty harmless. Next thing you know, bam! Instant neuro-link.

GRACE
A neuro-link? They shared one?! I heard those things are like love at first sight.

RAEDALE
They are. The link was so strong even I could sense it. But, then, so could Dorothy. And you know how protective she is of her daughter. The next night, Slater went back over there and asked to see Rose. I guess Dorothy didn't like that idea very much. She attacked his mind. And put him in here.

Raedale walks away from the bed. Grace puts a hand on his shoulder.

RAEDALE
He's an idiot. I told him not to go. I told him.

GRACE
It's not your fault.
