[She echoes his words with a hint of dubiousness. She runs a hand through her hair, sighing.]
Keep working with the kids. Make sure they don't do anything stupid and try and sacrifice themselves to whatever. I can't pretend that I'm right all the time, but...experience tells me that things are going to go south real fast unless we can find a way out of here soon.

You've supported us all so much--I want to help support you too.

Got it. I'll do everything I can to try to stop them all from being so reckless. You can count on me.

...Thank you.
[And...off the goes. She walks slowly, as if in a trance. Or maybe she's just tired. It's probably the latter.
God, this place is exhausting.]
