'cause not everything means something, honey
so say the unsayable, say the most human things

"It was never personal to you, you made that clear from the beginning, so don't get all sentimental on me now," she retorts with words that are sharpened and defensive, though that fades, "besides, it's not like I did die..." Not like she isn't still here, for whatever it'll be next. She doesn't imagine herself refusing him should he need her help or company in the future. But that thought remains a thought, feeling that it's ill-timed to say here and now, especially given that she's just told him to not get sentimental.
"What, should I have let it scurry off? Chased after its companion and gone in blind? If I'd done it that way I'd be dead for sure," no, maybe she hadn't exactly played it perfectly, but she certainly knew better than to go charging in after an enemy she couldn't see. "I couldn't let them think they'd won." She doesn't mention that something in her had snapped, can't mention it. All she wanted was to make them feel the pain she'd felt long ago, and seeing the Slagveld go up in flames had ignited that deep-rooted vengeance once more. She'd lost everything to fire once already. Didn't feel like losing anything again. She'd rather die.

if everything is temporary
I will bear the unbearable
