“I'm a sinner! I'm the murderer! I killed Faye! It was all my fault!” she yelled as she continued to slap herself in the face.

“What exactly happened?” he asked, wiping her tears away.

Larry knew that he had liked Faye a lot. As a result, he understood what Jake was going through then and did not rebut him.
“Okay, stop crying. You still have me,” he said comfortingly as he patted Joan on the back.
“What's the point of having you around? Can you make her come back to life? You'd better not appear in front of me again, Joan. Otherwise, I won't let you off!” Jake said as he pointed at her.
Unable to take it any longer, Larry roared, “Don't take it too far!”
