Chapter 22- Silently Fading
Everyone was back to normal. Everyone, that is, except Shannon.
Even during yesterday's game of furious water-throwing, Shannon had sat off to the side, watching Hope for Claire while she soaked Charlie. No one had been able to get her to join in, not even Rose.
Jack was extremely worried about her. "She should have started talking to us by now. Shannon's barley eating and it's starting to have an effect on her. Rose, has she talked to you at all since she found Boone?"
"No, she listens to what I say, but she hasn't spoken a word."
The doctor sighed. "Okay, well tell me if she does."
But it was clear to all that Shannon was fading, and no matter how much they tried, she wasn't coming back.
"Her brother's death hit her pretty hard. Do you think she might be suicidal?" Locke asked Jack in a low voice.
"There's no way of knowing. I really hope she isn't, though."
"Don't we all, Jack. Don't we all."
