Clementine looked up into Samara's eyes and saw her determination.  Looking around, Clementine noticed for the first time that Tommy and Oliver seemed to be slightly injured, perhaps signs of having been in a scuffle; probably with Githkin.  Clementine knew that if she went back to Galatec, while torture was a high probability, there was a chance she could explain her way out of it, there was a chance she could survive.  Maybe Jonah would be able to survive as well thanks to his position, despite having already pledged to help John and Samara.  But what of Oliver and Tommy?  Clearly they were miners, and from the little time she spent here, she could guess that they would be shown no mercy.  They didn't have a choice to go back.  If she went back simply for the sake of self-preservation, she was certain that she would doom every other individual in this room: Jonah, Samara, John, and the two miners.  She felt she was the weakest link here, but that only increased the pressure to not break lest the whole chain falls apart.  She couldn't live with that kind of guilt.

She looked up at Samara again and said, [color=ffff00]"I want to live,"[/color] but before any sign of disappointment could appear on Samara's face, Clementine took Samara's hand, helped lift herself up, and continued, "But surviving under Galatec isn't living."  Clementine looked around the room again, making eye contact with everyone present.  Her throat was dry, and her heart pounded painfully in her chest.  [color=ffff00]"For what it's worth, I'll help you."[/color]
