[She coughs right after him. Even she can't go without breathing in forever. Elektra swears under her breath in French, but it doesn't throw her listening. Elektra finds it funny that even after a lifetime of training she can't explain what's really going on either. In the end, she's a stupid girl following a broken old man off a cliff. The details were never all that important.

I believe you. [She meets his eyes so he gets that. She may not get him as a person, but he knows her now perhaps better than anyone with the exception of Stick. There's no sense in playing games now.] Just don't fail him. Matthew deserves better than that war. He deserves a life. Don't let them take that from him.

[Maybe it's foolish of her to trust him, but honestly she's dead. Things aren't getting any worse for her. If he betrays Matthew, she'll just kill him.]
