[God Quest] see what's inside

Isla's eyes drop to her feet again, and she nods, however reluctant the admission. "Something I do not wish to do," she confirms softly. And then the Voice does what Isla fears she would - she lays it out with logic and precision, stacking one life against hundreds, and the medic feels the prickle of tears in her eyes. They spill over, rolling down her cheeks, and she doesn't try to wipe them away. "If it was a guarantee? If there was no doubt at all? I might be capable," she whispers, the admission sounding loud regardless, "but I would end my life at the same time, if that were the only solution. I know I could not live with myself - better that two lives end rather than hundreds." ISLA pray for me pray to me
