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.

No. I narrowed it down to just a few possibilities, but I haven't approached them yet.

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.
