[Sveta's got blood on her cheek and her hands, but she doesn't seem to notice. She's not in her room now, but rather, moving down the hallway.]
Neil...um...Neil Howie and Barron are hurt. They're...in my cabin. Level two. It shouldn't be far.
God...please hurry. Elle's there but...God...

God...there was so much blood....I think...I think he might have punctured a lung. It went in through his ribs.

Sveta. [He drew his gun, keeping it half raised. It felt like he should say something, like he should mention - what? That when he looked at her right now, he could still see the little girl he'd taken out of O'Brien's room? That he didn't want to do this? It was all a waste. His hand tightened on the butt, just a little, and he lifted his arm to aim at her.]
No hard feelings.

So you want to end this, but you won't end it yourself, or come down to Zero where the power dampers have a chance of ending it for you. You'd rather that everybody remember you as a martyr.
[She wipes her grubby cheeks with the back of a hand]
I'm seventeen years old. We've never met but you tried to kill me and told me I deserve it. I had to lock myself in Zero because you made my powers go crazy and start hurting people too. Because you hate me. Not the other way around.
You're the hateful one, Sveta. The crazy one. The one who has spread misery. I've never hated anyone before you did this to me.
Now get your ass down to Zero before some desperate bastard kills you.
