حينما وقفت الضحيّة على قدميها مترنّحة أخذتنا الحماسة، فقد كنّا فقدنا الأمل واعتقدنا أنّها على وشك أن تلفظ أنفاسها، لكنّها فجأة، ومن دون سابق إنذار، استندت ووقفت. حينذاك لم ينبعث الأمل وحده فينا؛ بل أيضاً انبعثت إلى الحياة حرارة نقاشاتنا القديمة التي تسلل إليها الملل، وخبت حرارتها، وكادت تنطفئ، حول هوية المجرم وحول إمكانية إنقاذ الضحية. وقفت الضحية أمامنا مترنحة، وما لبثت (مما وضعنا في دهشة بالغة) أن رفعت يدها، وهي تقبض على زناد مسدس معلنةً أنها ستنتقم لنفسها بنفسها: ستقتل المجرم بيدها.
