I love you. [And then she turns swiftly on her heel, to go find where Varian and Rina are. Salieri’s right, and they probably need her. She can be a good girl, and listen, and to straight for them.
But before she leaves, she does pause in the doorway. She doesn’t look at the rubble. But she does look back, at Salieri.]
