Ludmila: You abandoned me. Marya: No, no, I abandoned hope. I didn't even believe in Zood anymore. I thought the whole reason all of this happened was because we were chasing the wrong dream. If I had known, I would have come. I just didn't even know it existed. I thought you were dead. Ludmila: I did die. The me that lives now is new and better. Knows more, knows not to believe in weak things. -- Irina (Murph) [voice deep as if in slow motion]: Are you abandoning me, Fia? Fia (Emily): Never. -- Irina: She - [Emily laughing throughout] Hank (Jake) [overlapping]: But I think - Irina [continuing]: abandoned me - Zirk (Caldwell) [distantly]: She's here! Hank: No. She didn't. Irina: - Hank! Hank: She's never abandoned anybody. She waited in a train car for eight years. For. For Batilda. She doesn't abandon people. That's not what she does. -- Fia: Irina, I'm not leaving you. I'm actually going to the world you made. And it's so beautiful and I promise you, we can make it here. We don't need to destroy everything to do what's there. Irina: I know better than you now, Fi. I don't need you to save me. Fia: I actually think you do more than ever. -- Murph [narrating]: Fia, in this moment, you like strike her. She was this, like, confident God. As soon as you hit her, something dispels and she once again becomes this very vulnerable girl. She looks scared for a second, and then she is knocked out and falls back into your arms. Emily [in Fia's voice, narrating]: Yeah, so I, just, it's so foolish and means nothing. But I still bonus action cast sanctuary on her. -- Fia: God. You were my fucking dream for so fucking long. But these people are my reality. And it is by your actions that one of them has died. And you tried to kill more of them. [gasping breath] And I - will miss you so much. [sobs] But I - [sobbing breath] I cannot support this. Mr. Henry. Kill her.
