[Unfortunately for Peter, taking the easy way out has never been Ruby's style. She can hear the pain and panic in his voice and she can't help but fret. Letting him go off on his own wouldn't help anyone, least of all himself.]

Some of the time is enough, Peter. You're still in there.

[She's been doing her best to not bring up Oscar's situation here. This had been the closest chance he's had at being normal and she doesn't want to ruin that for him. ...But maybe she can use what she knows to help Peter.]

...Is it kind of like you're in a car but someone else is at the wheel? You're there. You should be able to do something but they're in control?

[She tries to sound as empathetic as she could.]

I don't want you to be put in that situation again either, but I don't think leaving you high and dry is going to help either.
