Helly's been pulling on the restraints since she came into awareness – testing their grip rather than writhing, but she has no doubt that the man here is aware of every move she's making. Her surroundings are unfamiliar, though the situation itself is less so. Maybe. She doesn't know what he's planning here, or if she can stop it in any way, but she screws her eyes shut for a moment and then dives right into the only thing she can think to do, reciting steadily: "Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me, and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am."
