[ She knew what she was doing when she took up the blackwater - or rather, she didn't, but she had been told. By a gasping, dying, 900 year old man who said that the loneliness that will come, it will teach her only one thing, the peace of facing death as its natural end.
She knew she would be alone, that she had accepted. Faced a life of flat emptiness and devotion to her cause. In some ways, nothing had changed. That here - a galaxy away by forces that she would think only Gods capable of until she finds it true still in many ways. Happy to die in the cell, she had begun to distance herself from it.
Save for this, save that for once, she could be sure someone might come for her. ]

Too late for that.
