She knows what her eventual future will be. She's seen it. And if there was a way to make sure her remains were safe, a way to just get rid of the body entirely, all of it gone, so she couldn't hurt anyone, ever, not even when the best part of her is no longer alive to see it... she'd have to make sure people knew.

"Does that really work? Does it dissolve the body completely?" she asks.
