AAAAAAAA okay to scream even if it doesn't help even if it doesn't change anything other people are already screaming so why try to control yourself at the very end AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

There's enough time before the predictable crash for the passengers to, briefly, talk and try to come up with some ridiculous way to survive.  They're passing over a rocky zone like a shattered mountain range; flat spots for a landing approximately don't exist.  The area isn't cold enough for their brains to stay cold and be retrieved, even if they had some way to protect just their own heads from the impact.  Five people are frantically working to tie together enough clothing to make an ad-hoc parachute for somebody's four-year-old.  It's not going to work, but it's a dignified way to die.

The best Thellim can do is not distract them while they work.  Being still and quiet has never been an important part of her self-image before this, but rapid adaptation to altered circumstances is a virtue.

She successfully keeps herself still and quiet up until the plane loses enough speed to start diving.  She only starts screaming after enough other people are screaming that her screaming won't make any important marginal difference.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -
