Physio-

Hiya Kat. How you feeling today? Nothing? That's okay I get that a lot. So I thought I'd come say hi as
I'm going to be doing physio with you twice a day over the next few weeks. I know right. Lucky you.
See this face? Nice innit. Get a good look because in a few days you're gonna hate it. It's alright, I
won't take it personally. You're gonna hate this face because it's going to make you do a lot of things
that you don't want to do. A lot of things that are going to be quite painful. But it's only through
doing those things that we're gonna get you up and about alright? Get you walking? I’m going to
need you to believe in me and trust that I know what I'm doing. Can you do that Kat? Work through
the pain, work together, and we'll get you to the end of this.

Tommy-

I'm going back home. I need to be back at work and. My sister's had Jo too long and. And I can't be
here anymore Kat. I'm sorry but I just. Can’t. I think if I stay I won't be able to stop myself asking
why.54And that's. That's not. Because I've tried not to get angry. Get upset. But. You got up. And you
left me. Without saying a word. Without even saying goodbye. One moment I thought things were
fine and the next you're on the phone and. And that's why I'm gonna go. For a bit. So I can. Think.
You know? Calm down. Because I want to help you get through this. I do. Life is a very I mean it's a
gift isn't it? That's what they say and this world. Well. It's not so bad is it? There's actually a lot of
good in it. If you look. There's value in all of our lives. That's what I think anyway. And I think. Hope.
That we can be. That I can still make you. Happy. And so it doesn't matter why you did this. What
matters is Anyway. I love you. I'll be back soon.

Mum-

So what Kat? So what? They're strangers. She's your daughter.62I know I've not always been the
best mother. But I would never have abandoned you. Never. Not for anything. I would rather have
seen a million strangers die screaming and hungry than have ever left you on your own. Have ever
seen you get hurt. And that doesn't make me a bad person. It makes me human. Look at your face.
You're in agony. And it didn't change a damn thing. You want to change the world? You can do a hell
of a lot more alive than dead my girl, don't you see? You could dedicate the next forty years of your
life to changing things, if you wanted to. Now that's a lot harder. It'll take a lot more graft and it's a
lot less showy. But it's a damn site more effective.

Catherine-

Maybe that's all it takes. Because I'm here now doing this and maybe me doing this is the thing that
will change the world. Or maybe I'll just change one of those people watching. Change that girl, that
man, that woman and maybe they'll be the ones who change the world. Maybe if I do this my face
will go around my name will ring out and people will see that if they don't like what's going on they
can get up out of their chairs and do something about it. They'll see me on fire and think to
themselves 'if that woman can do that then I can do something to stop the rot. I can do something to
stop the rot. 'Maybe a hundred more will set themselves on fire, person after person after person
going up in flames until the world gets better until the world gets better. Imagine that. Or maybe not.
But I've got to try, right? Because we've tried everything else.
