Joelle's dresser-mate; the eviscerated laugh

texture · 14 Nov YDAU, night

• When: 14 Nov YDAU, night.
• What: Nell shares the 5-Woman room's furniture with Joelle van Dyne — Joelle, night-cleaning, "dusted the top of the fiberboard dresser she and Nell Gunther shared." And when Joelle tears awake from her dental nightmare with her mouth open to scream, the scream is already happening: "the scream was Nell G. down in the living room, whose laugh always sounds like she's being eviscerated. Nell preempted Joelle's own scream." Even her laughter arrives as violence.
