" I’m not afraid. Despite the searing between my eyes and
the knowledge that something is coming for me, something
that could easily rip out my spleen and pop it like a water
balloon, I am not afraid. She’s with me. She’s my purpose
and we’re going to save each other. We’re going to save
everyone. And then I’m going to convince her that she’s
supposed to stay here. With me. "
