Necessities were awful things. She'd been bombarded with them for a year now. You can't get out of it. You have to catch them. Don't kill the aliens. It's your duty. Dig her out. She's not human anymore, kill her. It can't be helped. There's nothing to be done.

Not this time though. Here in the midst of her fear, a whirlpool of sick feeling around her, she'd come to a decision.

"N-n-n-n-n-no. If I h-have to d-d-die, I w-want it to be with you guys."
