When Mina finally stopped retching, her body weakly slumped to the floor. Tara, who Mina only knew as Blue, did her best to pick the woman up and half carry her back to the bed. Mina was weak and distraught. Her fragile state made it hard for her to stand and she leaned against her rescuer heavily. Once she was laying down, Mina pulled the woman close and looked deep into her eyes. Her words were spoken in a low, crying whisper but they were resolute. Mina wanted to get her point across, she wanted Blue to know she was serious.
"Blue, please kill me. I promise, I will not fight back. I do not want to live like this anymore. Can you please help?" She cried. Blue ignored her request and tried to change the subject. Their lives were tied, if Mina died, she would too.
