[ Sonia smiles gently- very gently- and for a moment seems to be about to say one thing... before deciding on another. ]
I just... had a feeling. [ The words are light and simple. ] It doesn't do to accept defeat until every possible path has been explored... No matter what, you must persevere. That's how a small, unimportant country like mine managed to prosper for so long... and I think it's how we can leave this place alive.
[ ... ] I did not want to deny him the right to die. But... [ Her voice drops, softly. ] If there was a chance to spare both their lives and render that unnecessary... I wished to accept my own selfishness and take it. I might not be good at anything useful or practical... But I am very good at having absolute faith in others. So, then, let us see where it takes us today.
[ She grasps Susan's hands for a second longer before letting them go carefully. ]
There won't be any mistakes made today. I am sure of it.
Now I suppose we'll have to see about having Lithuania and Poland reconcile. If we're going to be trapped here, we might as well try and get what happiness we can.

[A pause.]
Gundam is terribly lucky to have found you in this place. Perhaps it will be the second good thing that comes out of all of this.
[Susan almost sounds warm. It is perhaps possible to believe, at this moment, that she is only four years older than the teenagers remaining.]
