Chapter 29 Summary

The longer Lo goes without eating, the weaker and dizzier she gets. She has a hard time getting out of bed, and feels faint using the bathrooms. She begins to have dark thoughts about starving to death, and mocks her CBT coach, who never prepared her to try to remain happy while being held hostage by a murderer. Then, Lo hears the sound of someone coming down the hall. She jumps up to move to the door, but is so faint she gets dizzy and her vision goes black.

Lo wakes up to the woman from Cabin 10 standing over her, urging her to wake up. She sounds desperate. Lo comes to and makes a sound, and the girl is relieved. She immediately apologizes to Lo for waiting for long. Lo scarfs down a pear, which feels so intense in her mouth she nearly can't fathom it. Lo eats too quickly and vomits in the bathroom; the woman puts her hand on Lo's back to help her, guiding her toward the bathroom, and then encourages her to eat some potatoes from the kitchen. As Lo recovers and begins to more slowly eat the crispy potatoes, she asks the woman her name.
