[There is a pause before the girl that was in a dozen pieces begins to speak. Her voice is quiet, free of the normal conviction and bravado that she would normally have in such a situation.]
Tell me where I'm needed.
[She has no right to call the shots when this is half her fault.]
Tell me where I'm needed.

[Private // Unhackable]
I wasn't --
[She stops herself.]
... I wasn't -- alive, when she --
I died before that.
[Aelia only cut her in half. But she's not going to tell him that. 8|]
[Private // Unhackable]
[Private // Unhackable]
[But it's not harsh or biting, but quiet.]
I'm going to put an end to it.
[Private // Unhackable]
And that's enough to make him soften a bit.] She's gonna end this on her own terms, Rei. Even if you kill her- this is gonna be bad. And she's not alone.
[Private // Unhackable]
[She says this in the same quiet tone, but it catches, on the very last word, because she cares for Nathaniel, and he is dead because she couldn't move fast enough.]
Ekpyrosis isn't behind this. Aelia is the one in charge. If she dies, this hell dies.
[She's the one who helped start this. So she's going to end it. She's not going to take 'no' for an answer.]
[Private // Unhackable]
[Which is the best approval she's getting from him right now. He'll be... Ineffectually watching, because he sucks at life.]
[Private // Unhackable]
-- and then she manages the tiniest bit of snark.]
Choke to death on the body of a magical cheerleader isn't a very graceful way to go.
I should've thought of that before I came back.
[It's an entirely hollow attempt to make him feel better. But she's trying. 8(]
[Private // Unhackable]
[And then, all serious...]
Seriously, Rei. Watch your back.
[Private // Unhackable]
[Somewhat grimly, but she pauses, at the warning.]
... I'm not going to let myself be killed again.
[She can only imagine the panic it brought. She almost doesn't want to know.]
The city can do whatever it wants with me when this is over, but until then, that woman's head is going to be on my front lawn.
[Private // Unhackable]
Good luck.
