"Look, first of all, the main problem with having one mind in two bodies is action economy," Zetta said in Lash's voice. "First of all, it completely shuts down flaking, chaining, and comboing opportunities. Second of all, even if you take that out of the equation, if one person hits at 150%, that's still worse then two people at 100% each. In OTHER WORDS, undoing this whole mess should be your priority no matter HOW you look at it!"

All that anger and irritation was covering up a really deep-seated nugget of worry and alarm that Lash better ignore if she knows what's good for her.
