[ Strong emotions, and it's familiar to see, and face, ones they respond in quiet and patience. Their hands offer out, if she wants something to hold onto. But they don't blame her if she doesn't. ]
..Rosa. Being calm about it.. it's all I can be. There's.. no point for me to be angry. To be upset. [ Exhaustion is as clear as day, heavy eyebags that are always there. ] Being on this side once before, it's just.. easier to accept what comes next for me.
[ And behaving any differently they now won't change anything. Also no live forever. ] People are going to want to vote someone guilty that week than anyone previously before. Especially when they know by then it's someone that wasn't in their right mind.
But Rosamund will take that hand. Clasp it tight, still fighting to keep control of herself as Siffrin sinks into acceptance like stone.]
...It's like you're giving up on yourself, though. And that's the last thing I want for you. [She looks to their joined hands, deliberating.] I know we'll still be able to reach you. And maybe we'll be able to save you all. Bring you back. But that doesn't make what's about to happen any less painful, or tragic.
You're brave, to look at it all so serenely. But I do bear some responsibility for putting you here. And I'll do everything I can to...everything that can be done. I know it's not just me, and I'm not the one being hurt here, it just doesn't feel right to pretend I had nothing to do with it.
Can you allow me that much? To try my best to make it up to you? I feel like I've barely gotten the chance to know you even, and now this is happening.
