Chris tries to be as optimistic as possible. "I'm sure this storm will blowover by tomarrow... Everyone's going to be ok!" He doesn't fool anyone. Chris plops himself on tp the bed and grimly says "...Everything's not ok is it? People are going to die aren't they?"
He silently sits on the bed for a few minutes and then stands up. "I gotta go to the bathroom" he says. It's a lie. He walks into the bathroom and closes the door. He sits on the toilet and silently weeps.
