She's been afflicted for a while. [quietly. her emotions are a mess. grief and guilt and the nauseating horror of having watched a little girl die, but.] I don't think... you did anything wrong. I don't think we have another way of helping the afflicted, either. From the sound of things, she might even be better off in the other plane with Death and the others, where she can't be forced to hurt anybody else or used as a sacrifice by the cult.

...I think so too. As much as I'll beat myself up over this... I have to believe that she's safer over there. And that they'll benefit just as much from her help.
[even though the reality of it is terrible all around]
And if things all go to shit... then I'll still accept what I've done.

Y'know, that does actually make me feel a little better... In a fucked up kind of way.
