This is the way the world is, and you must believe me about that. "You learned that you *could* freeze. This isn't a choice you consciously make. This is what happens when the people you love most are the threat." She was silent a moment, hoping he was hearing her. "And that means you can't let your reactions be the only line of defense."
That was getting into tactics, and long-term strategy, so: back to Eliot. "What do you do when a plane is crashing, and the oxygen mask comes down?"
