For taking too much, and not giving enough. I haven’t been careful enough, since I reconnected. I was already playing with danger, willingly separating myself from the hive by lingering in other worlds. [Even as weak as she is, she doesn’t seem alarmed. Just matter of fact. She doesn’t rage at the lace, not the same way they’d seen her rage at other things in her path—- instead, there’s just a steady compliance.]

I shouldn’t have tried to ask. I’m sorry.
