"I'll have to let go to get her," Magnus warns. He's warning both of them, actually. He doesn't want to let go of Shen Yuan. Just in case...
But no. Magnus should be more pragmatic about death. He's dead, after all. His mom is dead. He knows better than most that death doesn't give a shit. Shen Yuan is dead, again, for a second time, and like all second real deaths Magnus has heard of, it seems like it's for keeps. He grits his teeth and sets his jaw. He still doesn't want to let go.
Unless -- SecUnit? SecUnit probably has a drone around to send for Galahad, if Magnus needs help. Maybe he could ask it to send for Nina. And then he doesn't have to let go.
