Also, the scenes before show that she was being interrogated, and it says that after everything was revealed, she became silent: "she rarely spoke, but did make one request: She wanted to visit the ruins of Red Coast Base" - there's nothing to indicate that it might not be a 'last' request as such, that she's being allowed to take... | |
