#(again...)

But the thing is... Book!Grace had time to process what was happening to him. No he didn't agree to it, no he didn't want to do it. But he still got to process it and, in some way or another, grudgingly accept his fate. Resign himself to it, I guess.

And after watching the isolated clip of Grace begging Carl for his life.... I've changed my mind. The film's betrayal scene is so much worse. Movie!Grace didn't get what book!Grace got. He was cornered before he made his run for it, then he was chased down like an animal and ambushed. He was pinned to the ground by multiple military personnel while he screamed himself hoarse, pleading. He begged Carl for help as he scrambled at the grass, breath wheezing in his panic, and was told he was gonna do great as they readied to force him on a suicide mission.
