“Where's Molly?" asks Molly. She does not recognize her own voice. It sounds thick.
"You're Molly, darling."
"I know that. Where's the other Molly?"
"I'm Alana, your nurse. I think you're confused."
Molly isn't confused, but she knows grown-ups. At times they say things that are not true, and what they want is for you to agree with them. They especially like it when you nod.
Molly nods and says, "I'm confused.”
