Yeah, April probably shouldn't have asked that kind of question. The screaming from the movie probably didn't help, either.

She took a moment to think of a response to that, then settled on, "I saw six dead possums at a time once."

She didn't actually mean that to be a literal comparison to what Jack had experienced, because she knew it wasn't. But as a way to potentially reduce the awkwardness from her question, she thought it might work.

"Some guy mailed them to my friend Orin. It's weirdly easy to find dead possums in my town. So."
