‘I’m sorry, I don’t know how to do this.’
‘Course you don’t. You’re not supposed to, that’s your whole USP – from what I’ve heard.’
‘USP?’
‘Unique selling point. No ties to family and friends, no emotions – the perfect soldier who’ll do anything for a mission to succeed because she has nothing to live for.’
‘I don’t want to die.’
‘Well, they messed that up, then. And you’ve something – someone to live for now.’
‘I still don’t know if I can do it, Olli.’
‘I believe in you.’
‘I have no idea how relationships work.’
‘Nobody does. We’ll figure it out.’
