Mami looks at Howard with clear concern in her eyes. She knows he was starving when he arrived, he's had a terrible life, but there can't be an entire world ruled by despair, can there?

And now all of existence might fall as well. She looks away from Howard's insect-eating with a faint nose-wrinkle of disgust and sighs.

"This doesn't change a thing. Every life we might protect is important, and we absolutely must succeed---that's as true now as ever. We learn what we can, form a strategy, and win, no matter how impossible it looks. Right?"

Maybe they'll let her add her firepower now, she hopes.
