Carmen's Backstory (1)

‘So what, Clara likes the way my shirt smells? That’s no big deal. I’ll leave you my cologne, and then you can test it out, see if that works,’ Sebastian says, ‘but that doesn’t explain why she has these nightmares. Did something happen to her during her childhood? Did she…,’ He didn’t want to ask, it was the toughest question he was going to ask in his life, but he had to, ‘Did she get... raped? Abused?’ Sebastian asked as he ran his fingers through his hair. He worried. Getting abused was not something he knew anything about, and he might not handle it right. ‘Am I even equipped to help her with that?’ He wondered.

‘We do not know the answer to your last two questions because even Clara does not know what happened to her before she got to the orphanage. Her experience repressed her memories that she only gets snippets of information at a time. Sometimes they scare her enough that her mind shuts down to make her forget about it all over again,’ Jeremy answers.
