[ In the ten minutes it takes for Naomi to come over, Raleigh gets up from the floor once, and only to exchange a few words with his mother. Yancy's arm around his shoulder is an enormous comfort, grounding him in reality and reassuring him that this isn't a dream, and there isn't a current incentive big enough for Raleigh to want to wriggle away from his brother like he would under normal circumstances.
The monster hits the Bridge, finally, and that's around the time Naomi rings the doorbell.
Raleigh ducks out from under Yancy's arm in a hurry, scrambling away from the television.
Naomi, when Raleigh opens the door for her, doesn't look too bad. He can tell she hasn't been crying like Jazmine has, so that comes as a minor relief. Raleigh nods at her, moving out of the way to let her inside. ] Hey, Meems. Mom said you and Kara can stay over tonight, if your folks need some time.
