Hennessy doesn't buy it. Everyone gets bored eventually, but if this guy wants to play it that way it's not skin off her nose.

"They wanted you. Once again I'm the inferior version. They don't need me and they damn well know it."

She says they, but her eyes say you, in the moment before she realizes she's giving him what he wants in admitting how much he can still hurt her, and that her continued engagement in this stupid argument means it's working.

She's quiet a long moment, holding his gaze, her shoulders finally slumping as she accepts at least this momentary defeat.

"If they put me back in there, I'm letting the Lace have me."

She refuses to die a prisoner in someone else's cage.
