1. [Almost immediately after the mission in Brussels, Eva is sitting on a seat in the shuttle. There's hardly any sign of emotion on her face. She's just...there, staring at the opposite wall.]
...What just happened?
2.[Much later, Eva can be found at that wall of remembrance, sitting with her back alongside it. Above her there is a new picture of Ren; in her hands is a pistol. She's been crying, though she isn't now.]

You aren't exactly the most stable of people either. Why... I'd have to say some people would be quite concerned about what you might try to do.

[A deep sigh.]
Even if it ended things for me...even if I wouldn't hurt like this anymore...Ren...wouldn't want that.
...Just, leave. I'm not in the mood.

[Leos turns around and begins to walk away, despite this though he figured he may as well toss out a question.]
This is the first time you've lost someone like this isn't it?

No. Don't do it. Give me that gun.

And you shouldn't. I know it hurts you, you lost someone important. But still.

But I didn't. Not this time. Not any time.
Not in the jungle, not in those slums...not even back at that facility.

...It's not just Ren, either. I couldn't help Mr. Ortiz, or Mrs. Norman...
Some of my memories came back, and...never. I've never been able to protect anyone. It's just...I'm just...worthless.

And if you think that's not enough, it's never too late to get better. I know that well, from experience.

It still hurts.

I know. I'm not saying you shouldn't be sad. A tragedy happened.
Just don't think it was your fault.

Um, more importantly, did you see Ren on your way back?

Even if there was that weird light, Ren can't have died! She's not someone who dies easily, and she promised!
She has to be just...resting somewhere...

...I'm sorry. [Her voice is a lot thinner than usual.]

Re: 1
[Eva's own voice trails off, cracking. She's staring right at Alex, tears in her eyes.]
She'll be back...right...?

Re: 1
It was strange and magical enough that I can't say for sure, but I believe she actually died. But I hope that's not the case.

[Eva gives out a heart-rending sob, and breaks. She buries her face in her hands, tears streaming down her face. Her sobs are loud and pained, mixed in with the occasional scream of outright rage. Why? Why didn't she realize it? Why didn't she stop it? Where did she fail, where did she go wrong, why did it have to turn out this way?
The sorrow works as a mental key, opening a door deep inside Eva's mind. The change is immediate.]

Eva is seven and she cradles a dog in her arms as it breathes its last, its neck horribly broken. She botched the killing, and it will spend the next twenty minutes whining and trying to escape its master's embrace as it dies. Her orders were obeyed.
Eva is twelve and she aims down the sights of her rifle at one of the boys. He begs and pleads with her not to do it, to remember their friendship, to stand up against the system, but she does not. The fire command is given and Eva obeys.
Eva is fourteen and she is running through ankle-deep blood in a world gone mad. The people she is to guard rip and tear at each other with any weapons they can find, her enemies bombard the base with guns and lasers and missiles, a raging inferno devours her home and she must flee for her life from the gleaming metal beasts responsible to the surface where there is an explosion and something hits her head and everything goes black...
The visions, not bound by normal time, move by in fast forward, loop, and repeat. And repeat, and repeat, while back in the shuttle Eva quivers and breaks out into a cold sweat.]
