Why's it speeding up?
-She crosses her arms, a bit suspicious, glancing down to Simón-
Is this what you wanted me to fight?
-Yvette is caught a bit by surprise, before realising he must mean her sister. No time to waste confusing him, she nods-
It's me, Yvette. Now I need you to hold still, can these wires be removed safely?
-She examines him, closely. Trying to find some way to disconnect him safely. She seems a lot more lucid and eloquent than normal-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Compañera, I tell you the truth— I have not the faintest notion what that head is for. The scientists must be somewhere...
...I... I don't know... hh... you should r-really get out of here, Yvette, before—... before...
(The flashing grows quicker. Something faintly stirs behind the operating theatre...)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Gracia turns around to the sound, alert, the air rippling just slightly before she gets her nerves back under control-
Oh no...
I'm not leaving you. I am getting everyone out of here and then I'm destroying this place.
-She experimentally tugs at one of the wires, trying to disconnect it from the head, rather than Poor Park's flesh-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...but... hhhhhnghhh—...!
(Begins convulsing.)
(The head's eyes begin to twitch, and the mouth slowly opens, as if trying to form words.)
(And the tall, distinctive figure of Claudia Prime slowly rises to her feet behind them, also hooked to wires and having strange facial twitches.)
…
...Ah. There's one, compañera.

make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Gracia blinks at the sight of Claudia, then balls her fists, holding them close to herself protectively-
Wh— but— what are you doing here? There are evil scientists here that will hurt you!
-Yvette immediately stops pulling on the wires and looks up to Claudia Prime, slashing out her blades-
Let him go! Let everyone go that you've ever hurt, or I'll kill you!
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Wh— No, compañera, she is one!
…
(Claudia slowly scowls.)
(The large head slowly scowls.)
(Park convulses.)
(But then seizes up when the wires are yanked out.)
Ghh—AAAAAAA—!
(Claudia clutches her head and staggers backward.)
(The head briefly convulses like it's screaming, but then its expression goes blank when the wires are disconnected.)
Aaa-aaaahhh—...!
Nnnghhhhhhhhaaaaa...
GYAAAAAAAARGHHH—!
(uh-oh, looks like there were maybe a couple more people back there, too, and they were also wired up...)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-Yvette stumbles back, in shock, having hoped for this exact opposite reaction from cutting the wires-
-Gracia screams as well, the air rippling some more-
-Yvette hugs Park tight, hoping to whatever higher power is out there that she hasn't killed him-
-Tighter-

"... Oh! A vampire!"
"Mildred. Milly, if you want to be less morbid."
