OOM: Room #100 -- for Tommy Gavin

It's a familiar sight.
Kate unlocks the door, and tugs Tommy inside. She hasn't let go of him the whole way upstairs, as if some part of her were afraid if she did he'd turn around and walk away. He's scaring her. Something awful has happened, and she doesn't know what it is, and she doesn't want him to be alone.
"Go take a seat at the table."
Her voice is gentle, pitched sweet enough to soothe a scared child. She's not looking for argument, however. Her eyes, clear and sharp, stay focused on his.
Please.
