Elio could feel a subtle shift in the wind, or was it the mood, the energy of this place, as he continued to trek through it. As much as he was excited for this a nervousness began to fill him. The history of this place running through his head. Such beautiful landscape for such tragic things. And here he stood with one that had survived it. As he did with all stories, he would handle this with respect, care, what he worked for was to share the experience. In a way this episode would be about the warning signs that were missed, the things to look out for to make sure that you didn't fall prey into what everyone here had.

"I get it," Elio nodded, knowing all too well the debt higher education did to someone. "What made you want to be a nurse, if you don't mind me asking?" His hands held onto the strap of his over the shoulder bag, not finding anything else to do with them at the moment.

He wanted to reach out and place his hand on her shoulder, but he knew from past experiences that not everyone that agreed to be part of his episodes liked that. So he used his words best as he could. "I can't say that I understand but I can say that I am here to listen to whatever and anything you want to say on or off the record. I'm not here to make this some sort of circus or mockery of what happened. I do this because I genuinely want to know what happened and if in someway that can help it not happen to someone else." He knew all too well about which him she spoke about it, it sounded like she didn't want to say or hear his name and he would respect that. "Do you want to tell me what others didn't want to listen to?"

A big part of her didn't understand why anyone would want to know about what happened at the camp. It was a beautiful place that turned evil. She didn't think that anyone who could actually stand on that dirt would want to bring any sort of attention to it. The Camp should just slowly return to nature and be forgotten.

Harper turned to look at him. "I need the money." She answered honestly. "Nursing school is expensive and I don't have time for picking up more than a shift or two." This money was enough to cover her rent for a few months which lifted a great weight off her chest. She nodded and gratefully slipped his jacket over her own.

"You're very nice, Elio, and I do appreciate it. But you just wouldn't understand." She didn't want to go into everything, especially right there. Not where it happened. "It's like something took them over... Took him over. And it was ore than what everyone said. All the reporters and detectives, no one understood. No one would."
