She killed, yeah? The woman's voice sounded flat. She seemed to sigh. Horza drew in a breath, was about to start talking again, but Gow spoke in the same monotone. I thought I hear she. Suddenly she brought her gun hand up, flashing in the blue and pink of the morning sky. Horza saw what she was doing and started forward, reaching out instantly with one hand even though he knew he was too far away and too late to do anything. Don't!
In the scene, Horza is engaged in a tense conversation with a woman who speaks in a flat, emotionless tone. She seems to struggle with the implications of an event, possibly a death, and Horza senses the gravity of the moment. He instinctively reacts, preparing to speak again, but the woman's demeanor remains unchanged as she reflects on what she has heard.
Suddenly, the woman's physical actions convey a shift in the atmosphere. She raises her weapon against the backdrop of a vibrant morning sky, triggering a sense of urgency in Horza. He rushes to intervene, understanding that despite his efforts, he is too distant and delayed to stop her from taking a potentially lethal action.
