[To Rose, everything in the room feels like a threat. She can’t move, and the person who was sent to save her feels more akin to a demon. The person who was sent to save her that is still alive, at any rate.]
[She knows that if she’s going to escape this place, it’s going to be now. If they got captured, her savior would be good as dead, as would she.
