[ See, she wants to say, even Arthur agrees with her—but the appreciative spike through the Murmur is proof enough that Jinx understands she's stuck with them, for better or worse.
The memory surfaces, rolls through her, and leaves a hollow pit in her stomach. She knows that look—that narrow, single-minded fury. That need to see someone dead, to do nearly anything to make it happen. To risk more than her own life. Even to the point of being willing to kill children. Jinx's concern makes far more sense in that light, though it does nothing to soften Sharon's stubborn streak. ]
