[The reprieve is definitely welcome, because the moment Barbara heard Stephanie's voice she was a bit stricken. She thought she'd never hear it again. So she takes a moment, before she turns her chair around; blinks hard, scrubs her eyes.
By the time she's facing Stephanie, she's smiling - firmly, stubbornly. She doesn't let herself gape, but she does stare a little bit.
Barbara's last image of her was a fuzzy shot from a hijacked camera feed. Bloody and battered and broken.]
Did you get taller? [It's a feeble joke, but also an actual question. Is she just imagining it? Did Jason just make her assume all the dead kids come back bigger?]
hello i'm here to share my pain
