For the first time since she found him Chloe cracks a smile, but it's thin and only halfway there. Her throat still hurts and her eyes sting, but she's starting to catch her breath back. She shakes her head in response to his question.
"My memory? No, no, it wasn't about Dan." Chloe pauses, coming to stop in the hallway so they have a minute to regroup. "Remember that case I told you about, the one with cop I thought was on the take? Turns out I was right. He kidnapped my daughter, tried to kill me, and... Actually killed Lucifer. That was my memory." Chloe isn't sure why Wonderland chose that memory of all of them; there were others that she feels are more terrifying, that haunted her in different ways. When she was shot on that first case with Lucifer, when she almost died after being poisoned, even dying in Wonderland were all memories that she pushes down as hard as she can. The day a detective showed up on her doorstep to tell Chloe and her mother that her father had been murdered was the worst of them all, or so she thought.
All of those memories broke her heart and she pushes them down so deeply so she doesn't have to deal with them, and yet Wonderland bypassed them all for a memory that seems almost innocuous in comparison. Why?
"We were all fine, obviously... Lucifer came back and Trixie was okay so I don't..." She shakes her head. "We're better off going to the dining room if you want a drink."
