Iggy, [ is the first name Nancy says, and there's a pause while she tallies up the rest: ] Kovacs and Felipe. Gilia.

[ She doesn't know any of them any better than Will does.

She doesn't say Danny. ]

I'm still learning names. But there's a lot of us. We'll be okay.

[ligature]

[he doesn't know to have reservations about Danny yet. this will probably come back to haunt him later, for one reason or another. reluctantly,]

...All right, well. If I can do anything.

[what, exactly, he expects to be able to do from all the way over here is anyone's guess. still, he makes the offer anyway.]

[gunshooting]

You could be safe?

[ To whatever extent this was within Will's control. ]

So I don't have to worry about you.

[ligature]

Me?

[a huff of incredulous laughter, but sheepish gratitude wends throughout it.]

Nancy, I'm not the one going spelunking in a monster-infested cave. I'll be fine. [famous last words. but also, with genuine fondness,] But thanks, for worrying. I appreciate it.

[gunshooting]

I'll be back soon.

[ Famous last words ]

I promise.
