Steve's alive again, after almost a month. It's lifted a weight from her shoulders, but now she's even more aware of the other weights, dragging her down. In trying to figure out what to do about Danny, she's...well, she's started growing paranoid. It's not that she doesn't know who of her friends she can trust—it's that she doesn't know who else she wants to open up to this danger.
