[ Gideon doesn't take the hand, at first. She meant what she said, about not deserving. If she takes that hand, she thinks, he'll know, somehow, that she is gross. Unclean. A failure, rotten to the core, and always has been.
But Gideon has always been selfish. She rests a numb, cold hand in his. She doesn't feel the contact. She doesn't feel much of anything, right now. ]
He deserves to die. [ Said dispassionately, a fact. There's only one he. ] And I'm supposed to do it. That's why they made me.
