"I... alright," Isla says slowly, brow furrowing as she looks Remi over; the tell-tale sign of someone who is liable to ask very difficult questions very soon, whether he likes it or not. She's about to say something else when the ambulance crew arrives in force, a uniformed paramedic hopping out. Isla takes off to meet with them, leaving the medium to do his helpful best with the rest of the crew.
The equipment is packed away, the dining room and basement straightened out, the heavy, heavy cover drawn back over the well whose water is still brackish, but clear now of anything red. And when they finally lock up the Halliday house, it's as if it has been asleep this whole time. Ronin's eyes never leave it, though, glassy and only dimly seeing though they might be, and only as the ambulance doors slam shut is he finally able to put the place firmly out of sight.
"They might keep him for a day or so for observation," Isla is explaining as she hurries back to the van. "I'll text you an update when I have one?" This is to Remi directly, the other crew already hopping into the van so they can fuck the fuck off out of here. "His bike will have to stay here until he can come back to get it." She nods to the black motorbike parked nearby.

when it's just the two of us, only the two of us, I could die
