In the moment, Outis truly, genuinely, and thoroughly intends to see Ishmael punished for her insubordination in U-Corp. Ishmael’s life isn’t special—none of theirs are; they all have their reasons for fighting, but reasons never stopped her from cutting someone down during the war. If this moment ends with one less defiant fool risking the mission, so be it. Later, after the dust has settled, the heat curling through Outis’ chest feels almost foreign, but she insists it’s not guilt—just the weight of exhaustion. After all, she couldn’t afford to care about any of them.
