Her breaths are forced in and out between clenched teeth, and already she feels a little lightheaded but maybe that's just the enormity of what it is she's doing - risking? - here. At long last, and far too late, the part of her that wants to know things has asserted itself: what if she just dies? What if that's what he's actually intending to do? What if the Barge has stripped his ability to make others like him, and she's just going to end up with a bite mark on her arm for her trouble? What if, what if -
