[ And then she stops. She's quiet, again, collecting her thoughts. ]
There's a war going on outside of here. Last year, it completely destroyed this town, and Katerina and I were the only ones who survived. We were invaded by a country next door called Lorelea, in a really, really bad raid.
Marta's my younger sister, for one. She died during the raid, crushed under a collapsed building. Katerina and I were the ones who found her, so there's your context for last weekend. [ Their conversation about the hostages, she means. ]
Those three people were high-ranking Lorelean government officials, the ones that authorized Lorelea's raid on Lettland. They're directly responsible for it, so I guess Katerina had to direct her rage somewhere. Honestly, I'm not sure why she did the body-finding thing; she's definitely losing it if she hasn't lost it already, so maybe that? Or she just wanted to humiliate them further, to demean them for what they did. But I honestly, truly, don't have a definite answer for that one.

[ She pauses. Got that so far, Rhys? ]
