[She shakes her head. Telling Drax of Ego's plans had been born solely of fear; it had been the only way some of them might have survived. If Ego caught her, she would have been dead. If Ego succeeded in his plan, she would have been dead.]

Drax let me feel what he felt when he spoke of his daughter. I-- I had never known... [She falters a bit. She still wonders what it might have been like if Ego had actually loved her.]

If Ego had caught me, I think he would have killed me. But his Expansion would have done the same thing. I didn't want to be party to another death, especially not after knowing what it's supposed to feel like. [There's a part of her, though, that knows she wouldn't have been able to keep doing it. If she had reached a point where facing death didn't faze her anymore, then it wouldn't have taken much of a push to take care of that herself.

If Ego would have let her.] If you and your friends had stopped him... I didn't think that far ahead.

[Who is she to hope?]
