We don't know if we'll remain who we are by the end.
Time won't wait...but when the time comes, will your resolve remain as strong as it is now? Even if you see only despair? Even if we're nothing but trapped and without control in our own situation?
[ Probably not. Her resolve probably won't be as strong. This is already taking up so much of her courage and whatnot that she doesn't feel like she can do it again. ]
Even so, even without the blinding optimism... I've always strived to live. I am rarely in control of the situations I'm in, but that won't change, no matter what happens. I've done terrible things to do that and sometimes I wonder if it's so wrong for me to live, but as long as I'm alive, I'll eventually get through things. I can't do that when I'm dead.

[ She can get the feeling that Blade is not counting himself among the rest, despite his crazed responses just a few moments before. But, he will turn on the heel of his foot, and make his departure. ]

That could be all it takes, in the end.

[ She knows that, Blade! Blade might pick up some thoughts about "human augments" though. ]
You should get some sleep, Blade. It's been a tiring night for most of us.
