She tries to recollect her memories and ignores the call but it starts angrily ringing again only seconds later. The caller is persistent so she forces herself to stand up and turn the lights on, which immediately triggers another wave of sharp pain in her head. "Okay, fine, fine, I come! ... uhhh, my head..." She grabs her phone. It's Ramona's name on the display. "Ramona, what the heck does she - oh... oh no...", she slowly realizes. "Hey, uh... hi Ramona. - Oh, could you please lower your voice...
