[It's practically the only utterance Maya can belt out right away, fists as unmoving and solid as ever. At least her voice has finally dropped into a quieter tone. Then again, it might as well be a hiss for all the words say and how it's directed to Giovanni, with a gaze that hasn't lost its fire. Does he like it? Is he interested? Amused? Enlightened?]
Never imply I would feel I deserved something like that! Never, do you hear me?
[A rather obvious gulp cuts the air. Seems she's having some trouble breathing, too.]

Maya might have believed she deserved death at the very end of everything, actually-- if only so that the rest of them alongside her could live a little longer, could not have been the ones stabbed with that mythological spear at that exact moment. But she will never decry the sacredness of the gift they'd given her either.]
