It's more complicated than that. I could go back to minutes before I died, when the fire was set. Avoid it all together.

[and it should be an easy choice. it really should! but mizu looks down at her hand, slowly clenching it into a fist and then relaxing it like she's recalling her grip around something in particular.]

But I had one of the men I am sworn to kill right where I wanted him. He was at my complete mercy. Regardless of what I do to save my life, I must not let him escape with his.

[there's a reason why mizu was less "oh no i'm dead" and more "is that fucker also dead" right on w0. this fucking dumbass.]
