“Anyone that’s still in the city probably has some reason they can’t go. But things here aren’t good.”
…fair point.
“We can fix that,” Skitter said. It sounded more like she was talking to herself than to anyone in the room.
I think she is.
It would have been reassuring if she hadn’t been staring down at Yan.
Oh, yikes.
“What are you going to do?” Yan repeated herself.
“Charlotte, would you take the children into another room?”
Second time asked, second time ignored.
And yeeeah, that’s not gonna be a reassuring sentiment for Yan.
Charlotte seemed relieved to have the chance to escape. Every child that was present flocked to her and she hurried into the bedroom.
Charlotte has always been the more skittish of the two original drones, so I can imagine she doesn’t want to see what’s going to happen either.
That’s on top of wanting to get away from Sugita, of course. I’m sure that’s her main concern.
Yan raised her voice, “You left! You abandoned us!”
Trying to play on her guilt? I’m not entirely sure that’s going to work right now. Later, sure, but right now she might be too exhausted to acknowledge the guilt below extinction-level.
…then again, she just did.
