What did it mean to strive for excellence when her struggles didn't involve any improvement? There was a Kimeti that Bash had personally asked her about, though, and she hadn't had the heart to turn him down.

There she was-- she'd caught up to the buck, and hadn't even dropped back over! She had this. She just had to keep going, no matter what!

"You can't stop me!" The only thing that could stop her was... well. Something the other kimeti clearly didn't want to do. Extortion was an entirely different matter from cold-blooded murder....
