"[...Recall Unit 18 through 19, and keep 17 in-op mode, maintaining repair-op. Maintain our OA and secure the perimeter, initiating order 77B. Send over 22, 23 and 27—have them equip NLW and BE equipment, switching that out and storing their round. What's the ETA on all that? Over.]", she goes.

всегда верен-Makes several decisions in very quick succession in the split second he has-
-You could dodge those, or catch them-
-You could deflect them back into his smug face. Or at least his legs, to buy you some time-
-Then you could go get Holly. It wouldn't take much to just knock her out and carry her back, probably-
-Then you'll get to finish doing something that you don't like doing and get an indeterminate amount of money from a kid you don't like-
-Or, you could just swat them into a tree and decide this isn't worth it and go back to the house without Holly, which objectively is the right thing to do, and will render every last bit of everything pointless-
-And after you do any of these things, you will go back to your life and spend all that not-time with that loving family you don't have anymore, running that business you lost from the home you were kicked out of, until you're dead-
-These options are all bad-
...
-Instead does nothing as the bullets rip through his torso, blowing a huge chunk of flesh from his chest upon exit-
... -He sways for a few moments and keeps walking, just because that's what he was already doing-

(And behind them...

(is the sound of shattering glass.)
Eep—!
