[She has to think about this before she can speak. I do not wish to answer is the easiest thing to say, the one she has said before, but--some part of her wishes to try to answer, if only to make things clearer.
Kitty might not be a nice person, but there's a kind of certainty about the things she says that makes Laura want to make her understand. Why anyone stuck their neck out to keep you from getting dragged away--this is why, she wants to say. This is why I killed people. This is why I am here. Then, when Kitty says something about Laura in the future, to Laura herself or to others, perhaps it will not be angry. Perhaps it will just be certain.
But wanting to explain does not make the words come out easily.]
