“I know what you want to say, Ha,” Dr. Mínervudóttir-Chan said. “And yes. It’s true. Altantsetseg has orders to kill you if you try to leave the island or send a signal from here. And orders to do the same with Evrim. It could not have been concealed from you forever. And I know what you—both of you—must be feeling. Betrayed, trapped, used. You have a right to feel that way—but what you don’t understand is the why of it.”
