AND ALL I GET IS THIS

Cailee Spaeny

Rain broke up with Tyler after realizing that she isn't straight. She discussed this only with him once she gathered up the courage to tell him about it and it wasn't shared with anyone close to them either for privacy. Not only was Rain forced to deal with having to hurt someone she cared for deeply, but she also had to come to terms with her sexuality too. They didn't want everyone else in their found family to feel awkward around them or react in other ways that could make the situation more painful than it had to be.

The plot thickens:

The reason for Rain's gay awakening? Her best friend, Kay. Growing up, Rain always had a crush on Kay, but never could put her finger on what it was or what it meant and she certainly couldn't define it either. As she got older, the crush became all the more apparent and soon, she needed to face the reality. She didn't tell any of this to Tyler though, preferring to give the least amount of information as possible, hoping to make the break as clean as she could so that a friendship could reform in the future. She didn't want to make Kay feel weird either if the truth got around and she didn't want to hurt anyone else.

After the separation, Rain disappeared to get away from everyone and to deal with her troubles alone. For months, it was just her and Andy, working for the hours needed for their freedom.

The movie opens and we see a small glimpse into the way Rain's life exists as it is...

Then Tyler calls and tells Rain about what they'd soon discover is the derelict Renaissance. Her absence is why Navarro and Bjorn had a bet running to see if she'd come; it's why Kay seemed almost desperately relieved to see her, and thus, why Rain appeared rather ambivalent throughout the first few scenes with her friends.
