“Oh my god,” Victoria whispered, the revulsion giving way to something worse.  Realization.

Did she realize what Amy did?

“I- I tried to keep things normal between us.  To act like your sister, keep it all bottled in.  It’s just tonight was such a nightmare, and I’m so scared, and so tired, and so desperate.

See “compromised state”.

Bonesaw forced me to ignore all the rules I was imposing on myself.  All the rules I was using and following so I wouldn’t do anything stupid or impulsive.”

And there’s another one of the keywords from the analogy I used.

“Anything stupid.  Like what?  What did you do?”

Amy’s voice was a croak as she replied, “…make it so you would reciprocate my feelings.”

Suddenly a white van with the letters “C&D” on the side drives up to the two of them, opens a door and pulls Amy in before continuing down the road. The driver is Cherish.
