She senses him coming, and starts to take off running.
She dashes out of the bar, trying to escape. But she tripped and fell on the sidewalk.

"Well, either way it's a better alternative 'an lettin' 'er die." Fionn reminds him, his light mostly recovered.
-
"You must have a big enough crush on her that you forget about the fact she can self-rez."
-
"Well, seeing as we're a good ways away from a solid source o' light, I thought tha' may be a bad idea."
-
"Sarah's Light is a bit unique. The more it endures, the brighter it burns. Never dims."
-
"Well, tha' would o' been nice to know before I almost killed myself." He chuckles quietly.
-
"The only other Guardian whose Light does it naturally is..."
-
"Is who?"
-
"Her sister. Mia."
-
"Ah." He replies, resting his head back.
-
"It makes sense once you know the complicated history of the Greys."
-
"Well, maybe if I'm lucky I'll end up learning some o' that history." He murmers.
-
"I could start on it. It all began with a Titan. Last name Grey, and he fell for a refugee he was escorting to the Last City. But after nine months, the woman wasn't the only one he was escorting to the place of refuge. Family. They had a family. But their happiness would not last long."
-
"Would she wan' ya to tell me this?" Fionn asks.
-
"She's gonna be knocked out for a few more hours. Anyway, tragedy struck. The girls, the twins that had made the couple so happy, were captured. By the Hive. Taken aboard the Dreadnaught, raised with lies seeded on her head. Until they escaped. Not exactly clear how, but they were separated from each other as they fell through Earth's atmosphere. Both died when they hit the ground. But one died in the Tower Plaza. Other died in the Cosmodrone. Guess who revived the twin who died in the Cosmodrone. Yours, truly, me."
-
"And she remembers pre resurrection?" He asks, somewhat surprised.
-
"They both do."
-
"How is that possible?"
-
"They were only dead for 10 minutes at most."
-
"That explains it." He nods.
-
"Yeah. Plus Sarah always been good about not forgetting stuff."
-
"Photographic memory?"
-
"Yep."
-
"Tha' I can relate to. The things I wish I coul' forget..."
-
"Just as bad as her life now."

Fionn shakes his head. "I suppose I aug' to tell ya a bit o' my story now. Tis only fair."
