The Girl in the Woods

Sarah is just stronger than me.

It's how you exploit vulnerability that counts.

There's a panic button in the Outpost.

You press it, and this calls me.

Ugh.

- Stop! - Stop fighting now!

I am a vessel filled with light.

I am a weapon against the shadow.

My pain is a symptom of sacrifice.

My sacrifice is a symptom of love.

Getting warmer, Mom.

Bigger chin? Softer eyes?

Yes? No? Maybe?

I'll take that as a yes.

Carrie.

Carrie.

You're just rotting flesh.

- Sooner. - It's still early.

I am a vessel filled with light.

I am a weapon against the shadow.

My pain is a symptom of sacrifice.

My sacrifice is a symptom of love.

I am a vessel filled with light.

I am a weapon against the shadow.

My pain is a symptom of sacrifice.

My sacrifice is a symptom of...

I am a vessel filled with light.

I am a weapon against the shadow.

My pain is a symptom of sacrifice.

My sacrifice is a symptom of love.

I am a vessel filled with light.

I am a weapon against the shadow.

My pain is a symptom of sacrifice.

You deserve care.

You deserve sweet honey.

I can make it all feel better.

Calm mind.

It's still early.

Shh!

I missed you.

Stop.

Shh!

Sarah, they will kill us both.

Do you have a bandage?

You're stronger.

Please.

You killed your own people.

Have you ever listened to their music before?

It's like listening to a new color, isn't it?

A friend taught this to me.

Why did you abandon your post?

It's called slow dancing.

Isn't it nice?

Why did you abandon us?

It should have been you in here.

- You're selfish. - I know.

- You're a coward. - I know.

You disgust me.

I know.

I should rip your heart out and throw it to the Herd.

But then I couldn't make things right.

- Mirrors. - Mirrors.

Alarm activated.

You can't move if I can see you.

The Ledger isn't here.

Well, it was here four days ago.

Your father had it removed when I was installed.

That's against custom.

Now how are you supposed to identify threats?

- He's council leader. - He invents custom.

He's a narcissist.

Generous view of your family.

- Why did he take the book? - I don't know.

He doesn't have to explain himself.

How's that feel?

Yeah, better.

The Ledger poisons human souls.

It can't leave Gehenna.

Well, it left Gehenna.

Ask Hosea when Arthur drags you back.

That'll be a fun reunion.

Sarah, wait.

I'm here, in the Butcher's Den, doing the Guardians' work.

Please.

There was once a time where you still had faith in me.

Carrie, I have full faith in who you really are.

- I will fill Arthur's shoes. - I promise.

Get out!

Just give me a chance.

Call, and I will come.

I said, get out!

It was him or me, Sarah.

You want a redemption story?

Turn yourself in to Hosea, take his punishment,

and let the Colony deal with the tear in West Pine.

I will never, as long as I live, call for you.

That's my promise.

Out.

I heard stuff from the south quadrant last night.

I don't know if you saw that. The further one fell.

The Ledger.

"The Pestilent Stream."

Well, this is a surprise.

So what's your plan then?

Why did you take the Ledger?
