They got everywhere eventually. [Mahiru narrows her eyes, as if that would guarantee she saw any other raptor that approached them.]

I don't understand... where they came from. [She wants to think they were sent by a captor; that might be imposing a degree of logic on their environment that no longer exists.] Part of me wants to keep hiding from them forever, but I can't see how we'll ever escape if we do that... so that's why I want to believe in you.

[It probably is stupid to cling to that belief when Shade herself has thought better of it... the floatation device sways in the water a bit, doubtful.]
