The delay is irrational. It makes no sense, but this was an irrational moment. They were going through an experience that was overwhelming them. They couldn't process it, and they didn't want to process it. They refused to confront the logic of what was happening. Just as when Dylan sees the assailant in the house, she can't speak out. That's what I believe saves her life.

If she had spoken up, I think she would have been a victim too. But because she's too overwhelmed, she retreats into her silence and goes into her room. The intruder leaves the house and she survives. But this is really a story about people who are overwhelmed by events and don't want to face what is happening because it's too large. I write in my book, coincidentally, about how

coberger's father as he's going across country with his son as they're leaving for christmas break he too is getting intimations that something is wrong but he can't quite go all the way he can't make this realization that his son is a monster and the same way these two young women can't somehow cross this rubicon of what has really happened in their house what has really happened to their friends

They don't want to face it. When you talked about when they say Zana is in black, they're trying to find a rational explanation of this figure that they see in black in the house. They go, well, maybe that wasn't a man you saw. Maybe that was Zana who you saw. And you shouldn't have to worry about it. Again, this is just too large. The moment is too large for these people to process.

And what also is interesting, all these questions that you're raising, this is just what the defense is going to do because there's no logical explanation for them. And they're going to try to raise as much doubt as possible with the jury. And that's what this trial is all going to be about, trying to find reasons to raise doubt from things that seem on one level odd, but unfolded in real life.
