Anna thinks, holding her tongue, that this has been extremely polite by her standards, and that if there really is a certain way that she shouldn't be talking to Woe, she hasn't come close to it yet. But if Woe has all of this under control, including those followers of hers, then maybe it's worth re-examining this whole power dynamic at play here. Here she thought they were people she'd gathered up to hold captive until she suckered in others to bring them home.

"Well, good on her. I didn't know she fell through here, but I had a feeling she'd be into the whole helping people things. Runs in the family," she says, her voice dry, "Even if she's a far fuckin' cry nicer than me about it." Anna doesn't ask whether 2B is safe; she shouldn't trust Woe, but she does in this case only because she's sure 2B would have contacted her if she were in trouble, one way or another.

"I'm not looking to do anything dramatic. We can figure out any personal bullshit once we both get back topside, Woe," Anna says, like a promise. "Right now I'm making my priority saving as many people as possible. Then we'll meet up and we'll have the world's shittiest tea party and figure out everything else." She rolls her shoulder like it's going to help her get into gear for whatever ritual's ahead of her. "Let's go, Dinah."
