--- End quote ---
She doesn't actually say that. The note does not specify anything about "tomorrow", and she doesn't really respond to it when Clinton mentions it. *shrug*
--- End quote ---
She nods emphatically and affirmatively in the third panel.

What do you base that on?

It's all explained in my previous post.

Your previous post is:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 18 May 2016, 05:23 ---When Clinton tells her that he visited a bar and it subsequently burned down... oh, and he's sort of been self-nominated as the carer for the former barkeep...? Well, I doubt that Claire will let him out on his own ever again.

Your previous previous post is:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 17 May 2016, 23:07 ---Wow. She's got big issues with emotional extremes, it seems. So bad that it screws up her ability to function until she crests the hill. I wonder if she'll be able to do anything for a while!
Carl-E is right: That clock is important to her. Maybe watching the hands moving around the dial is calming in some way? If so, it is probably something that is very important to her. The vanishing scotch mark might be a hint in this direction. I can see her lovingly wiping the mark away when Clinton wasn't looking.
Cute touch: As the walls started to crumble, she feels safe enough with Clinton to make physical contact and choose him to help her. It says a lot about Clinton's character that she so quickly has come to trust him, especially given that she clearly has previously had problems with people trying to run her life (trying to assign names is never a good start).
A prediction: Brun is going to be the most challenging regular character to write that Jeph has ever had in the strip.

And then I stopped looking. I see no reasoning for concluding that many times in her life, she has been traumatized to the point of inaudibility.
Lubricus:
Right, she does. I stand corrected.

It's okay, I assume you saw the tomorrow mention in the last panel and got mixed up.
BenRG:
@Eastrim,
:roll:
Okay, as you apparently have a blind spot for the rest of the post you originally quoted:
--- Quote from: BenRG on 18 May 2016, 23:36 ---She's lived with this all her life, after all. She must know how to handle it.
--- End quote ---
Conditions like hers typically first manifest in childhood. She's certainly had experiences worse than this before.
Gyrre:
--- Quote from: DonInKansas on 16 May 2016, 22:34 ---For some reason I am mildly surprised there is no umlaut. :psyduck:
--- End quote ---
I am very tired, but I'll try to explain it anyways. An umlaut changes the way the vowel is pronounced and changes how much stress/emphasis you put on it. Vowels in German (as with many other languages) only have one sound unless paired with another vowel in a diphthong or given some sort of accent mark (like an umlaut or that backwards apostrophy) . In this case, "Brun" doesn't have a stressed inflection because there's no umlaut.
