Why is she still talking?

Dyssia wishes she would stop talking.

No, no, better. More emphatic. Dyssia wishes she could shut her face--not that the Shogun would stop talking, that Dyssia could find the words that would make her clam up.

Because she… She recognizes it, right? 

How often has Dyssia embraced that peace? The cessation of the voices, the worries, the fears? No need to plan, no need to think, nothing but the immediate future and making sure that there's something less immediate. Yourself, the people to either side, and the people trying to kill  you. 

There are so many things to do, right now. So many more important things that they could focus on. 

Anything, so long as it means she doesn't have to listen to another word out of the Shogun's mouth.
