Memories begin to flood back to Nikki as she slowly opens her eyes. What she tried to do. Why she did it. However, exactly what happened between hitting the water and waking up on the shore is a complete mystery to her.
As the reality of Jen being gone forever begins to weigh on Nikki all over again, she becomes aware of a blonde woman looking down at her with a look of genuine concern on her face. "M-Madame Divine?" Nikki sits up. Amy and Colby are here too. And the looks on their faces, so similar to the one on Priscilla's tell Nikki she's caused her friends a lot of distress.
A feeling of immense guilt washes over her. She was so consumed by her own grief over Sapphire and Gemma and wanting to escape those feelings that she never considered how much she'd hurt the friends she had left. How could she have been so selfish?
With Priscilla's help, Nikki slowly gets to her feet. She breathes in deep and looks down in shame. "Madame Divine... Amelia.... Colby.... I'm so sorry for worrying you all," she says.
