The emotional expression in this passage is one of intense sadness and vulnerability. She stops, her sobs choking her, indicating a deep and painful emotional outburst. Unable to contain her feelings any longer, she is overcome by her emotions and collapses onto the bed, face down, sobbing into the quilt. This scene captures a moment of raw, unfiltered emotional release. She is not holding back, not trying to control her tears or her sobbing. Instead, she allows herself to fully experience the pain and sadness, to let it wash over her and consume her. This complete surrender to her emotions is a testament to her strength and her honesty, as well as her need for comfort and solace. The use of "flung herself face downward on the bed" further emphasizes her emotional state. She throws herself onto the bed, almost as if she is trying to escape from her own feelings. The sobbing in the quilt adds a layer of privacy and isolation, as if she wants to hide from the world and immerse herself.
