[She catches that and just hums a little in response. Story time's not over.]

Yeah. I guess, but some of them are happier when they don't have to kill at all.

But well... I managed to put up a good fight, but then these kids showed up. Silly children, wandering away from their families during a fireworks show! He took the opportunity to stab me then, and... I'll tell you, it hurt.

[She sighs and tries to wrap up the rest of the story as quickly as possible. It just gets pitiful from there on.]

He was going to hurt the kids, so I used the last of my strength and pulled the trigger one last time. [She raises her right hand and extends her pointer finger and mimics the shape of a gun.] Then with that last bang I shattered his sword. [She laughs.] The kids got away and I was resigned. He said something about cutting out my heart, I think.

[The last bit is muttered and she's silent for a while. The next part.... she's even more reluctant to tell it.]
