The man in the graveyard asks her three questions.

- Did she feel sad when her teammates died?

Yes.

She never wanted to have to cope with the awfulness of her inhumanity.

- Does she want revenge?

Maybe.

If Makima wants her to.

- Whose side is she on — humans or devils?

The humans, of course.

As long as they want her, need her.

The man turns, all crooked lines and sunken eyes. You're a parrot. And a damn good liar.

He jerks his head towards Makima's receding figure — her coat rippling, drowning in the masses of graves. She's got you collared, hasn't she?

No, says Reze. I'm my own. My own person.

The man regards her, cracks his neck. We'll see, he says and then he kills her.
