"Usually she just snaps out of it after a while, but sometimes I'd talk to her since she snaps out of it once she realizes that there is no threat. It's like she has DID but not since she doesn't change personalities but rather a coping mechanism that hides the truth from reality in order to keep herself safe," Sadie explained to Mark and Lawrence as she came in with Lawrence and the kids.
"Sadie! Thank god you are your family are here!" Andrea said as she came out of the bedroom.
She didn't hear what Sadie said to Mark and Lawrence.
"Let me get the door for you so you don't get hurt. They're probably out there watching us right now," Andrea said, peaking her head out the door, paranoid and then quickly but softly closing the door behind Lawrence and Sadie.
Sadie took Andrea's hand and brought her over to a secluded part of the house so she could talk to her to snap her out of her hidden reality.
"What's wrong?" Andrea asked, looking at Sadie, her eyes almost looking like they're clouded from her reality.
"Andrea. Those girls aren't here. They never hurt you or Mark. They're in Antarctica Prison. Remember?" Sadie said as she was holding Andrea's hands.
"Yeah. But then they came back and hurt us. See?" Andrea explained showing Sadie her invisible wounds.
"Andrea. There's nothing there. Here, look at this," Sadie said as she took out her phone and showed her the security camera that was looking at the girls in the prison.
"What? They were here, I could've sworn," Andrea said, her eyes not as clouded as before as her brain was processing what was actually happening.
"No, Andrea. They were never here. You had a nightmare again," Sadie said and the word 'nightmare' snapped her right out.
"I did? Again?" Andrea asked, realizing what happened. "Oh my god. I must've scared everyone so badly. I have to go apologize to Mark."
Andrea and Sadie went back out into the main room and Andrea hugged Mark. "I'm so sorry for scaring you. Sadie just got me to snap out of the other reality," Andrea explained as she felt terrible for scaring everyone.
"She's okay now. I just explained to her that no one hurt her and Mark and showed her the girls in the prison. I told her afterwards that she had a nightmare again and that snapped her back into reality," Sadie explained as she went back over to Lawrence.
