We made some progress but we won't be there before another day (in the worst possible case). I stopped the camper a bit to check on a map for a motel or someplace else to stay for the night. Every radio station had been deserted; I couldn't use pink noises to fill our lack of communication. But somehow, Aurora started singing Radiohead's Creep and she didn't stop singing her imaginary playlist since then. She's very good at singing, though she laughed in the middle of I'm Walking on Sunshine when I hummed a bit along her.

"Why are we singing anyway?"

"…Come on, Mr. Burglar! Even if there's no reason to it, sing!"
