"Actually… I went out last night" Ellie revealed, finally deciding to come clean. She wasn't making a fool of anyone but herself, if she still refused to let Sydney know about her hurt foot.
Sydney seems to be in quite a good mood this morning, so it's only better to let her know what happened last night after she left for the woods.
It would ruin her good mood, but at least, she's in a good mood.
It's better to get scolded and mad at rather than keep quiet about what happened and suffer from it in silence. It wasn't doing Ellie any good. She's probably going to start hallucinating soon with the way she was sweating profusely if she still doesn't get her foot treated ASAP.
She has stupidly wasted enough time stuck in her room, only for the foot to keep on getting swollen and hurting like hell, and it could probably turn into something else soon if she still doesn't get it treated right away.
