[She speaks, low like she has problems finding the words]

Looks like my family have gone seditious in my absence. How ironic it was, that I have grown out of it- or been forced out- just as they had grown into it....

[The voice changes to a more angry tone]

Nessa..my own sister a traitor, ruler of my own usurped province! Father a shrewd political strategist before his death!

[A growl from killjoy]

And I, on the fringes once more, having lost at my own game; I failed insurrectionist, fighting longer and harder against a heavy tide and still losing, and it all coming so much easier to my family. And I..I..I failed Jack too..I leave him alone...he will not forgive me this time. I will not forgive me this time.

If I had stayed. If I hadn’t gone to see Nessa..Boq wouldn't be... he would be dead, probably, but isn't that better?

[A yelp from Killjoy and the sound of her moving around the room nervous]
