He's talking as though he's the only one affected by being trapped here, how infuriating, how typical. If 'resenting' it was her only problem, she'd count herself lucky. "You will care when you are the only one left in the 'fish bowl'", she snaps, taking solace in the fact that once she's returned home, she'll finally be free of him for good.

But until then, she has other plans for him. She stops suddenly, close enough to her doors to touch them if she reached out, and tenses with anticipation and anxiousness. Even now, she bristles at the thought of letting him inside, of willingly exposing herself to him. But once he's inside, it will be easy to get him to the Zero Room, just like last time, and then... well, she's too vexed to think that far.

He's still behind her though, and for just a moment she hesitates at how to achieve her goal. Then she turns and walks a half circle around him, trying to put him between herself and her doors, holding his gaze as though considering him. "Perhaps you will find a way to ruin this universe, and perhaps I should care," she says to keep his attention, grimly honest for lack of a better snare. "But if it keeps my home safe, you can have this cage and break it." But only after she's left, and in the meantime she'll make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else. While she speaks, her doors unlock with an almost inaudible click, and the faintest line of light from her interior appears behind him.
