She's not nervous, not exactly, but this isn't how she expected it to be. Going inside -- or whatever it is they call it -- was something she always thought she'd do with Eames, but he's gone now and Neil knows more about the machine than she does. More than anyone else in Darrow, she imagines.

So she's not nervous, but it doesn't feel like she imagined it would. Eames isn't here, which is different enough, but it's more than that, too. She isn't sure what to expect. She's excited, but uncertain.

"So how does this work?" she asks, leaning her chin on her hands as she looks at Neil. "Eames only gave me the basics, so I'm completely in your hands here." Not that she minds. She trusts him.
