I am actually pretty content with what happened. Was unexpected to me both IC and OOC and I liked how Pieter played it. What I didn't like, is going about it a bit vocal in the summit, but in the end, it played good part too
OOC-ly, I hoped for a bit of conversation, where Kim would explain Pieter that she doesn't want to die, since I had ideas why this conversation started in the first place. But I didn't expect desire to 'help' her in this particular way. What I saw there, was a Chekov's gun. On one hand, I didn't want her death, on the other I was itching all over to see, what he prepared for her. After contact with Verin, I decided, that she won't ever ask anyone to kill her. But Pieter came to her with this idea, and after a bit of contemplation, I 'made' her to think about death. Of course, I prevented her from saying directly, that she wants to die. And I prevented her from saying, that she didn't. I decided to simply float along and let Pieter to do what he wants. Critical point was at the moment, when Kim asked him, if he thinks she need to be put to rest. He replied positively, and I felt, that here it is. I just followed, letting him do what was planned, agreeing with everything, as I decided not to interrupt him.
IC-ly, she was depressed. And, IC-ly she met Pieter very happily, thinking about discussion of the situation they got themselves in Skadi's Hall. She wasn't thinking about death at all, before possibility of ending her life was brought back to her.But the life was hard to her, she tired of it. She decided that she should live, however, and don't ask anyone to finish her. The weight of failure (mostly imaginative) was still high on her, and this unfinished duel, where she should have died. She started to think about death again with Pieter, changing her attitude towards it after almost each line, arguing mostly with herself than with Pieter. When she realized that she cant solve the argument fast and lost in her own thoughts, she tried to get 'help' from Pieter (or gamble on it), asking him indirectly if he feels that she should die (in a form of that she deserves rest, since she was speaking before, that she will have rest when she die). She gambled with her life and she lost it. What happened next, and why she didnt stop him? She was afraid of death, and was trying to overcome the fear. It is her greater motivation in almost everything she does: to fight fear and experience adrenaline. She got both. She wouldn't stop Pieter, since she thought she would show weakness. I think it would be the best to describe her condition in this situation regarding death with words, that Pieter himself told her about his desire to kill her, when he came to her: she didn't want to die, but were willing to die. (oh, and well, last her thought before passing out was that she didnt' taste that cake, that Pieter brought to her)
She has watched the recording of her death, and is still clueless why did she want to die (in fact, current clone shares same ideas about death as the one that died plus strong motivation against death because of this event), and thus she believes that something extreme happened in these two days, and that she 'invited' Pieter 'to kill her' because of it. Lets see how fun it could be.
