Sisters

At the pit stop, Raina decides to buy batteries for her Walkman instead of snacks for the rest of the journey. She is so distracted by the thought of being able to put her headphones on that she forgets to use the bathroom. She ends up needing to go on the side of the road instead, which irritates Mom, who didn’t want to stop again. Along the drive, scenes of the Rocky Mountains fill the panels and Raina is amazed at the natural beauty of Colorado. When Amara’s ears become pressurized with the rise in altitude, she spends several minutes screaming in pain. This is followed by Will singing to himself, and Mom’s facial expressions becoming increasingly severe and agitated. She yells at Will to be quiet, telling him, “You’re just like your father!!!” (109), but this doesn’t phase Will, who is only excited to see his dad. In a flashback, Will is a baby, watching baseball with Dad. As Dad yells in celebration of a home run, Mom is seen in the kitchen becoming irritated. She mentions to Raina how Dad’s lack of work is causing her stress.
