[Not a big deal. It's not a big deal if she dies, after all--it never has been. Her life has been...well, a series of strange things, but even so, she'd never really thought it would've been any great loss if she died. The jokes hadn't been entirely jokes, after all.

There had to be a reason why she was so willing to risk her life.

But one fact of how well he knows her is that she knows him just as well in return. She wasn't expecting him to be happy at the news of her death, not at all, but... somehow, seeing him this sad about it just makes her all the most frustrated. This isn't how it was supposed to go. She was going to find out more information, and then return, and then--

And then what?]


... I think even if you say that, I'm going to worry about it anyway. [It's in the nature of "the investigation of the murder of my friend". But even so--] ...Thanks, Belph.

[There's a pause, as she thinks it over, and then she smiles, if a little weakly.]

Hey--this was my fault, okay? I picked the Middle Ages. I lost the watch. I got overconfident. [She's well aware that it was 100% her responsibility, and she accepts that.]

I guess it's only fitting that the worst operator ever would end up with the worst Time Negotiator ever too. [It's just...really wry humor at this point.

What else is she supposed to do?]
