Shaw is entirely stony in response: not in a hostile, angry, or resentful way, but in a way that aggressive tone and body language aren't actually touching her. She's fully engaged, completely present with him as she meets his gaze, but nothing about her indicates that she's going to back off just yet.
"That sucks," she says, matter-of-factly. "It's a horrifying thing to have hanging over your head. But you aren't there yet. You still have control here, you still had some control at home, and you owe it to yourself and the people around you to keep using it well, the way you were trying to before you decided to have Zack take you out. You also have a hell of a lot more resources and options here than you did back there. You got any idea what Zack's deal is? I've never talked to him about it, but I'd put a lot of money on it being related to doing something to fix this mess."
