Katarina
Oh, poor, dear Katarina.
So closed in thinking that she believed that she was dead and on her way to her promised land, that she thought that going with him had been a predestined trip through her death. How wrong she had been.
And now she was dead, floating through space after she had sacrificed herself for him and Steven.
She had taken it as a test, because she knew that the trip to her promised land would be a dangerous one, and not all souls made it. Trapped, and on the verge of being killed, she had done the most selfless thing he had found in one of his travelling companions so far. She had pushed the button to end her own life, in so doing saving everyone else on board the ship they were on.
It was possible they all would have died if she hadn't done it.
A selfless thing indeed.
She had only been with him a short time, a very short time, but she had complete faith in him and Steven, believing him to be a lord, a god, and Steven a fellow passenger. And in the end, he wasn't sure if he had failed her for her death, or if he had done well by her, teaching her that there were other things than her promised land and Troy worth fighting for.
He supposed now he'd never know.
But it had been a very selfless thing to have done, and he would remember her always for it, and try to honour her memory as much as he possibly could.
It was the least he could do in return.
