[Jo doesn't know the kids, but she understands being bullied. It didn't happen much (she tended to throw punches) but she remembers how it felt before the anger.
George is pushed in and Jo holds her breath, wishing she could stop it, but she can't. She's been through this enough this week to know. But she also knows George survives. She jumps in, forcing her eyes open under the water to watch. When the creatures appear, Jo blinks, trying to get a better focus. She doesn't recognize them, but the world is different. She doesn't know the creatures in George's world.
The memory ends and Jo takes a breath she didn't realize she had still been holding.]
