Right-- [She was going to say more, but the rest of her sentence dies on her lips as the drones morph into the orphanage children again. The boy from before reappears, along with his two accomplices and the girl she thought she could trust. The boy and his friends are all decapitated with blood spurting from their wounds, but the girl is covering her face with both hands, yet Lucy can make out an empty, bleeding eye socket from between her fingers.

No, no, no, no...
