She's not downstairs.
She is still outside, still thinking.
She's thinking about the rocket that took her to the moon, and how it was based on a weapon.
She's thinking about Stalingrad, and what the German pilots felt when they looked down into the inferno they'd created.
She's thinking about her childhood heroes, and what they felt when they came back in their creaking planes.
She's thinking about all her hours and hours of training and lectures and simulations.
She's thinking about the fact that she's never killed anyone before.
(she isn't sure what she feels about that last part)
