[ah. she looks a little sad, instead of gleeful about spiders.]
It was her. I felt it when she died - so painful.
[there was no way not to know.]
I still want to find a partner. But I also found out that if someone's partner dies, they can still be saved if they find a new partner before execution. So, even if I don't find someone, maybe I could help someone.
If your partner is executed, there is still no way to save you, however.
[she looks at kate, her expression growing more serious.]
Kate, have you found your partner yet? If you do find them, I'd like to know who they are. That way, if you're ever in danger, I can ensure you're protected.
[the execution problem can be avoided if you midtrial them instead, for one thing.]
I think we all must take care of ourselves here first and foremost... but if your only hesitation is the fear you're being selfish, then I suppose I think you are risking taking the decision from them.

Th, they can't do that. Can they?

Can we avoid getting their attention if we're quiet? Or...
[ maybe just don't go into the spider zone ]

I was starting to think it may be too dangerous, but I'm glad there's some way to avoid that.

[ her head starts smoking. ]
No. I narrowed it down to just a few possibilities, but I haven't approached them yet.
no subject
...You haven't approached them, hmm? I suppose that means you're uncertain of them.
no subject
I'm just afraid of putting someone else at risk.
no subject
[hmm...]
I don't think you'll put them at risk. The only real risk is if your partner is executed.
[and she doesn't think they would execute kate, even if she was a monster.]
no subject
I still want the wish, but... I need to be sure that my partner is prepared for that danger.

Although, if that is the case, they should really take some initiative in seeking me out, too.
