[As Lin is in an extraordinarily foul mood, there's a sarcastic look of enlightenment on her face as Elizabeth speaks.]
Of course! I forgot that only you had permission to murder.
[But the truth is Lin cannot tell whether or not Elizabeth is telling the truth or not. Part of her paranoid mind still believes the Queen was happy to see such a harsh punishment enacted on someone who had arrived barely alive to begin with, but now she isn't convinced. Ever since their conversation on the train, she hasn't been sure. Perhaps it was only her ugly boyfriend to blame- No, she shouldn't give the woman so much credit.
Something inside her snaps. Well, if she is doing this to laugh at her, Lin won't let it be fun! She takes a moment to turn the conversation to Private before straightening up and smiling.]
Since you so enjoy making my life unpleasant, I'll have you know that, according to you, once I'm pulled out of this god-forsaken rock, I'm back to being worm food! Dead as a doornail! All that God crap? Heaven, damnation? Never happened for me! Everything goes black, and... well, that's it!
I guess I shouldn't fret. Being dead isn't so bad. It's no worse than being unborn - or never existing at all.
What fun to think about, hmm? I think I'll leave you to bask in your satisfaction now.
