Selma Payne's POV:
I was stunned.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with what I'd done. It couldn't even be considered a 'sacrifice'. This word was too serious as if it was not worthy of something that had to be fought with one's life.
But I'd never done anything so dangerous. Fine, it might be a little dangerous, but not to the extent of dying.
What we were facing wasn't child's play. There was no absolute safety. Someone had to pay a little more in exchange for everyone's safety.
Since that was the case, why couldn't that person be me? I didn't have the power to decide the universe, and I didn't have a brain as sharp as a computer. All I could do was take on more responsibilities and reduce the burden on my teammates.
