det_montoyaClearing her brain has never been a strong suit. The events of the trial are revolving in her head. She'd been one of the many hampered in the back of the courtroom.

She sits down on the couch in her apartment and picks up the remote. The television flashes to life. The scene depicts a crowd of pressing journalists. In the center is Dent.
"--did Eddie say to you during the tussle?" The question is followed by clicks and snaps from the surrounding cameras.
She shakes her head in disbelief.
"Nothing of any consequence, just like most everything else he says..."
A finger descends towards the power button.
"Mr. Dent, how does it feel to be a hero?"
She stops. A hero? This I gotta hear.
"Well, I'm not going to start prancing around in a cape, if that's what you mean."

The remote plops down on the cushions next to her. She sits for a minute longer, just staring. A shuffling sound comes from the rear. She looks up over her shoulder to see Daria, wiping at bleary eyes.
"Hey baby. It's late. You coming to bed?"
A pause hangs between them.
"Na... I got some things to work out, Dee."
It's not the words but the tone. Daria's heard it before. Can't still the body while the mind is at work. She shuffles back to a lonely bed.
Renee's still sitting on the couch when the sun rises in the morning.
