* Rue's sheer ''incredulity'' when Autor says he's fallen in love with her enough to sacrifice his own life is heartbreaking in its own right. The years of the Raven's abuse have really worn her down to the point where she cannot fathom anyone but Mytho and The Raven ever loving her. Even her laughter in that scene doesn't make it any less sad because of what she says afterwards: "What you're saying can't '''possibly''' be true!"
