“Why is it that the human mind is so drawn to the pain and depression of others??”
“Yeah, she died. Jake shot Ray but she was underneath him so the bullet went through him and killed her too.”
“I'm pretty sure she died :(”
“Ok, so in the end of the book when she was slipping away and said, "I'm free" Did that mean she was free of Ray and going home, or died?”
