I can give you freedom from your guilt with a flick of my wrist
Woah. That’s a lot more bodies - two dead, as the woman points out - than she’d anticipated. Oops, sorry Ludo. She lands once she has found them, squinting in the dark. Remi is at least familiar in the vague sort of way most humans look to her.
Cradling her burned arm, she offers the other hand to Isla as she sees Remi holding the bodies. “I tried to get through, but I didn’t know there were others. I ensured the rest have evacuated at least.” None of it a lie, and so it rolls off her tongue like oil. “Come, we need to get further away. You are the last.” With that she aims to either guide Isla forward by the hand or hover near them, unwilling to lose them in the dark again.
She doesn’t dare smile when she turns to see the smoke against the moon, but the monster inside howls joyously at the victory.

I can give you death with the look upon my face
