Sorry.

new math
people to die one time only
no to have second chance
you to be bad at no to die if you to die once
one time enough to be bad at no to die
people to die one time only
no to have second chance
you to be bad at no to die if you to die once
one time enough to be bad at no to die
[That's a little easier, but she can't even articulate to herself what he's doing differently or why it's so hard to begin with.]
You to think it to be like Doctor House no to talk?
Like to die to lose...thing.
To die no to see.
To die no to lie.
To die no to understand?

[When three long seconds of silence have elapsed, Kesara realises that she can't afford to stay silent. She has to say something. And she has to lie.
She has to lie. if Ecks knows Duster really did kill House, there's no telling what she might do. Because she is Ecks. There's no telling - no -
Not unless someone else tells her what to do.
She fights to keep her voice even as she speaks, trying to buy herself time to work through this thought.] That's no sort of evidence, not when the town is so dangerous. And this isn't the first time Doctor House died either. He's not a careful man!

No to me.
I no to die.
Jim no to see. Three to days.
Kunsel no to taste. Five to days.
Zack no to feel. Seven to days.

[ He's hoping it'll only last a couple of days for her. ]

[It is sad that she has to be the one to tell Kesara what she thinks happened. She knows that it is difficult to hear.]
I know that he is not a careful man. He wrote something very bad for him to write. Something VERY VERY BAD for him to write that Duster said before he would hurt Doctor House for saying.

How did you make her so angry? Was it some untoward comment about that fellow - what's his name - the pretty one?
[There won't be any dodging this. If she had a grain of truth around which to build the lie to Ecks, then, perhaps - but a lie without a grain of truth is doomed to fail. And Ecks will keep pushing, doubting. Kesara draws a breath, her frantic thinking all but audible in it.]
Ecks... what are you thinking? If someone did murder Dr. House, what are you going to do?
Ecks... what are you thinking? If someone did murder Dr. House, what are you going to do?
[Ecks catches on less than Kesara might fear -- she hears that breath, but she still interprets it as Kesara being upset to hear it might not have been a mindless thing that killed Doctor House.]
I do not know what I am going to do. Doctor House will not let me come to him to stop him from being murdered again.

You still don't know if he was murdered.
[That is a slip - the words, and the hint of fear in them. She has to get to the point.] I saw the thing Dr. House wrote about Duster. It really was bad. And he did it on purpose. Maybe he doesn't want you to come because... he thinks he deserves what he gets from it.

[Does Kesara know how bad it was? Probably not -- Ecks has no reason to suppose anyone who wasn't in that room knows what Duster is. No matter -- the girl finally seems to understand the grave possibility, and it is a secret Ecks cannot share even if Kesara did not take her seriously.]
Maybe.
[It's a strange thought -- letting oneself be killed because one deserves it. Is that what Doctor House is doing?]
Doctor House wants me to explore the tunnels. I do not know what else to do.
