She doesn't know about dying, outside, or inside. But she thinks, knows it feels something like this.
"S-sigma..? You chose betray..?" she asks and thinks, knows her voice is far too quiet and heart-broken for what the situation is supposed to be.

Because they've done so much together, and he's taught her so many things.

What better way to learn pain, than from the man she loves?
She doesn't know death, what it feels like, all the different ways it can occur, inside and out. But, she thinks, knows she just died a lot more than she probably should have.
