I could tell from Kiya's face that she still hadn't understood that those rats had been different, poisonous somehow. I shook my head, I didn't like to kill things; but, they were threatening my friends and I had to stop them.

I walked up to Kiya and said, "Sorry we had to do that Kiya." I furrowed my brow, "I remember you really loved animals before we came here... I did too." I shook my head to clear it. "This is a different place and if we're going to survive, and save Lynn, we have to do things we would never have done before."

"Let's look at your mirror and see if we see anything else down here that might attack us. Okay?" I looked at her trying to see if she'd understood or not. "And let's look at that map too, just to make sure we're going the right way."
