What will she say to the alien? She has not planned that far. “Take us so your leader”? No, the alien’s supposed to use that one. “We come in peace” has the same problem, and would, anyway, be a lie. Anna has no peace to offer. “Invade us, I beg you.” At least this would resolve the problem of her Argentina-sized debt.
“She realizes that her image of her own soul is not very different from the way she imagines hell.”
“The problem is that the good always seems so fragile. And the evil you’ve done sets on you like cement.”
