Rosabelle rolled off the autopsy table under a sheet, grabbed a coat, and pocketed the vial before Warner and Kenji opened fire. An alarm sounded and the room erupted into chaos as an unidentified woman crawled for the exit and James shouted. Kenji insisted James get Warner out, prioritizing Warner’s safety and his child, while Rosabelle hid and armed herself with surgical tools.

Kenji informed Rosabelle the building was locked down and taunted her, then the two engaged in a close-quarters fight. Rosabelle struck Kenji with a thrown “brain knife,” prompting him to shoot more aggressively. She threw a chisel that he deflected with a tray, then tried a hammer; Kenji used his invisibility to vanish and reappear, batting the hammer back into Rosabelle’s ribs and injuring her.

As pain mounted, Rosabelle assessed her remaining makeshift weapons and timed a move while Kenji reloaded. She threw a skull key into his shooting arm, forcing him to drop his gun, which she seized and aimed at him. Despite her tactical advantage and a stated need to kill Kenji to escape, she hesitated, spiraling through guilt over her past service to The Reestablishment, her failures, and her sister Clara’s safety.

Rosabelle told Kenji she did not want to kill him and only wanted to leave. Kenji, eyes closed, said, “All right, fine,” and in that moment James appeared behind Rosabelle with a gun, ordering her to drop the weapon. She complied. Kenji retrieved the gun, and James zip-tied Rosabelle’s hands, handling her with unexpected gentleness that conflicted with her dread and desire.

Kenji pulled the vial from Rosabelle’s pocket and interrogated her about its contents and intent. He announced Warner was preparing a supermax cell and directed James to take Rosabelle through the tunnels, promising to send Samuel with manacles as backup. James agreed, bristling at the suggestion he needed assistance, while Kenji, injured but resolute, stayed behind.

As James prepared to move Rosabelle, he warned her in a low voice that if she hurt his family she would see a different side of him, threatening to destroy her if she resisted or tried anything. Overwhelmed by the proximity and his anger, Rosabelle confirmed she understood, ending the confrontation with James in control and her transfer imminent.
