To relieve stiffness, Emmeline stretched her arms above her head as she walked.
As she was doing this, she replied to Clarissa, "Quite good. I don't particularly feel anything bad."
Clarissa remembered what Jara told her. "The doctor mentioned it will take a few days for the residue effects of the sleeping pills to go away."
"Is that so?" Emmeline thought for a moment and smiled. "Maybe. I don't feel anything now but a little drowsy, and I just want to sleep."
"That's the residue effects."
There were a few minutes of silence. Suddenly, Clarissa asked, "By the way, I'd like to find out from you. Were you tortured or otherwise abused when you were kidnapped? Or were you just locked up in the room all the time?"
Before the rescue, Jara had explained the situation to Anderson and Clarissa.
