A subject.

The woman screams.

“DON’T CALL HER THAT!”

Her voice breaks apart completely now.

Grief.

Pure grief.

Oh God.

Hannah whispers shakily—

“Who died?”

Nobody answers immediately.

The woman’s eyes fill.

Then very softly—

“My sister.”

The tunnel seems to stop breathing.

“She was nine.”

Hannah goes white.

The woman stares directly at Wu with absolute hatred.

“You told us pain made us stronger.” Her voice shakes violently now. “You made us watch each other suffer.”

Wu’s expression never changes.

“Emotional desensitization was required.”

The woman fires at him again.

This time every Sentinel operative opens fire back.

Russ drags Hannah down as bullets rip across the tunnel.

The woman disappears behind cover.

Gabriel shouts—

“We need to move NOW!”

He’s right.

More Sentinel teams are coming.

I can hear boots deeper in the tunnels.

Heavy.
