until the moment she realizes that she's trapped, just as she's been in so many other places — in an imperial labor camp death sentence on wobani, in the data tower on scarif, in a bunker with only a knife and a blaster, in a cave with only a lantern and the knowledge that her parents would never come for her.
water sloshes at her feet. the air around her thins. her muscles lock, keeping her standing in place; that's where she may be, for good. she doesn't know. she —
thump, thump, thump. the sound of a hand banging against the window, over and over again.
it's enough to shake her out of the trance that's nearly consumed her. she rushes through the water, toward the sound, only glancing behind her at the computer when it lights up (where the warning makes itself known).
however it's going to end, when approaches the girl, jyn grabs her by the arm, attempting to drag her away from the window. then:]
It says we need something. A release code. Do you know what that is?
[the question is to keep the girl focused as it is, genuinely, to try to get an answer.]
