Altruism? Ridiculous. If there's a way to spiritually scoff at someone, that's pretty much what Rita's doing now.

However, it's followed by a feeling of resignation, of urgency. Fine. She doesn't know that this ally has any interest in their wellbeing besides getting their buddy Ignatius out, but they can't afford to be choosy about their friends right now.

Determination, acceptance. If this mystery ally is a resource they can use, they'd damn well better use it.
