"They deserve to pay for what they did," she answers immediately, that flicker of anger surfacing in her voice. She really hates them, Abby and the WLF and their torture and death.
But she thinks again of that girl choking on spores in the hospital. But they made their bed, didn't they, all those WLF assholes.
Ellie can't afford to be sorry.
"I can't let them live. I can't."
She doesn't know how to explain to Malcolm how she can't sleep, how she hears screams when there's nothing there, how the smallest thing can tip her over some edge she can't see. He already knows she has flashbacks. But she can't talk about so much of it, lacking the language for it.
