“I don’t know– what happened?”
“Crawler spit on her, then knocked out her forcefield. Move! Fix your sister!”
Taylor’s right, Amy. If you don’t do this, or don’t do this quickly, Victoria’s dead. If you do this, she’s alive but might be mad at you.
Which is worse?
Fuck, I actually suggested earlier that the former might indeed be less angsty for Amy.
It does matter that it’d be Amy’s fault, though.
She staggered forward and reached out toward Victoria.
“No,” Victoria mumbled.
Ah, there we go. She is here enough to understand this much. But does she understand that it’s this or death?
And Victoria actually voicing a denial of consent makes this even harder for Amy, even if that denial of consent comes from a position of not truly understanding what’s happening.
“You’re dying,” Grue spoke.
“No,” Victoria repeated herself. “Not-”
She coughed sharply and mumbled in the same breath, and didn’t bother trying to correct herself.
I have no idea how this is going to ultimately play out but one thing’s for sure: It’s gonna suck for Amy either way.
