Debbie is still staring into space when Michael comes in. He sits down with her and says he wants to talk. She says there's nothing to talk about - she doesn't want to be reminded about Julie.

MICHAEL: Hey, I understand.
DEBBIE: No, I don't think you do.
MICHAEL:(gently) So tell me.
DEBBIE: This has brought it all back. The way it was when Mum died. And I'm not going to put myself through that again. I wasn't going to tell anyone. And I don't want you telling them. I was sick just before you came in.
MICHAEL: That's not surprising, everyone's been under a lot of stress.
DEBBIE: No, I made myself sick. Like before. I went on a binge and then i realised what was happening and I made myself throw up.
MICHAEL: But how can you...?
DEBBIE: It's alright. I can stop it. I just, I've got to keep myself cut off from everything that's happening.
MICHAEL: How, by pretending it's not?
DEBBIE: No, by not talking about it. By staying out of it.
MICHAEL: You can't do that, that's denial!
DEBBIE: I know what it is. I never wanted to go to the funeral, I only said I would for Dad's sake. I know it's going to hurt them. But I've got to look out for myself. So, I'm not going.
