[Rita hasn't allowed herself to think of death as a potential solution, either. Because...death shouldn't be treated as a way to just get rid of a problem, and also...because deep down she's afraid he might not come back. Is it selfish, to potentially let him suffer longer because of that? She doesn't know--hasn't examined it any closer than dismissing the thought before it even fully comes to mind.]
Don't--don't you think I don't know that already?! [Because she's definitely not leaving him alone like that for long.]
Yelling at you isn't even doing any good!
[A point which she still yells because volume control is hard when she's upset, and she's still so frustrated that she won't get a satisfactory explanation for why it happened in the first place. So, after a moment, she half-turns to head back to 109.]
Fine, but--just don't think wallowing in regret is going to magically undo anything, either!
