[The warm hiss of white noise is just part of being in the ruins--but at some point, when it's getting a little darker, a voice comes through.]
Yes. Pardon. This is Ruth.
[You know, if the stuttery little words at the start didn't clue you in.]
We had thank you an idea--see if we can reason yes, reason with this place. That... [A crackle of static.] Sorry. You saw the empty spot, didn't you? Sorry. Yes. I think...I think it's something.

[At least they agree on that. She can hide in this wasteland, with the shadows rising at evening to meet her, she can die, and he'll still go on. The dream will go on. Logan's shadow is one mutants are safe in.
There's a moment when it feels like there's an empty space in her mind, a set of quotation marks waiting for some kind of stupid, hardheaded quip full of Scottish slang. David might not know what to do--frankly, Ruth doubts any of their number would--but he certainly wouldn't be quiet right now.
(Better that he's gone. Better that he's not trapped here, that they didn't get to her and find him, that she didn't have to argue the merits of razor blades--)
Her words are murmurs--not like the stammer, mostly, just soft. Affection runs through them, and rue.]
I promise-- Pardon. If it happens, it won't be because I was tryin' to die.

But not enough. ]
I know, kid. I know. I believe you. [ And he's telling the truth. ] But I can't leave you behind again. I left people behind before, in Utopia, and I can't -- I'm not gonna do that again. I'm done makin' those choices.
Either we all get out, or we stay all here and face whatever the hell this is.
