on getting married and her impending death

[flyers]

I really don't know how you expect me to feel. After two years in that facility, Alex and I are finally getting married. But we're going to die. Days afterward. And we're not coming back. Obviously I'm happy about the marriage. But I don't want to die.

I guess I should be happy that we won't suffer in that place anymore. That you two agreed to let us get married before we leave.

But the truth is it's just sad.

Well, I guess that was good timing. I know you're sad about the game closing, but at least now Alex and I don't have to die. Now, we get to try out surviving on that planet. And we have a chance to actually be married.

[Harry looks a little horrified and sad, listening to her.]

That's... that's an awful arrangement. Why do you have to die?

[flyers]

The space station we're in is crashing into a planet.

[If Harry wasn't well-acquainted with the notorious UFO endings of their fandom, he might be a little shocked by that sentence, but...]

That's horrible! Why would they--? [Though with a quick glance up--] Oh-- you're not going to die after all! It's... still not ideal circumstances, but I hope you're happy together regardless. Sometimes just having someone you love and care about with you during hard times makes it that much more bearable.

It's still crashing, but... at least we're going to survive. And you're right, it's something.

[a small smile]

I'm sure we will be. Even though I have no idea what this planet is going to be like.
