[sarkazm]

Yeah. It was me. My own decision and everything.

[sootprints]

[ ...! ]

Your own...

[ she takes a moment to process that. ]

... For one of the rewards?

[sarkazm]

There was one I couldn't risk missing out on.

[so-- yeah, that's exactly why.]

[sootprints]

Which one?

[sarkazm]

I've got something I need to cure.

[sootprints]

What is it? An illness?

[sarkazm]

One that's pretty common where I'm from.

[sootprints]

Is it... something you have?

[sarkazm]

Yeah. Sarkaz are the most susceptible to it.

[...]

It's basically a death sentence. There's no cure-- the best you can do with Oripathy is slow the spread, but it will get you eventually.

[sootprints]

You're dying!?

[sarkazm]

Have been for... oh, a few years?

[sootprints]

... Then this was the only way you could live.

[sarkazm]

Me and a lot of other Infected back home, yeah.

[sootprints]

... Will you be able to use the reward? If you're going to be sent to be executed right after this.

[ do they let you stop by the shop. ]

[sarkazm]

Probably? If it works the way I was told it will.

[sootprints]

... It had better.

Because, whatever happens tomorrow... you'll be coming back.

[ she holds a hand up to the bars of the holding cell. ]

[sarkazm]

If everything goes right, then yeah, both of us should be.

[...after a second, she holds her hand up to kate's.]

I got a message from the cowboy the other day, so hey. Not like you won't hear from me-- Vi too.

[sootprints]

[ she presses her hand against wis'adel's. ]

I'm counting on it.

We... we agreed we wouldn't leave anyone behind. The three of us.

[ her voice falters a little. ]
