[his next words catch her by surprise, and she blinks at him. of course, her mind immediately reminds her that most of the residents of Chester's Mill are about to die and won't remember any good she did do, but she knows that there are still those out there who weren't in town when the dome came down. in particular, there's still Rusty. and either way, Kay still has a point] So...what, remember the good memories I left with people there? And...that it really hasn't ended. Because I didn't die back there. [she doesn't realize the implication of her words as she says them--that most people here don't know that she only fled to save her life--but Kay's meaning has sunk in now, and in a way, it makes her feel a little better] I know there's good I can do here.
[whatever else she might have said is lost, however, as it's at this moment that their meals are served]
