That said... Alice...? This wish says wonderful things about your conscience but... in the end, don't you think that you're running away from your crimes? It sounds to me that you're avoiding confronting a world where you are just another super-immortal rather that 'The Witch' and thus without the immunity your reputation has given you so far..

If she wants to die it seems like it would be easier to tear off a limb and stab herself in the brain. I can understand her desire to avoid repeating her own terrible mistakes. Maybe she's choosing solitary confinement to atone.
I suspect the finale will have her make a decision.
JimC:
Where did she go?
out
What did she do?
Everything.
derech:
Meeting what she's entangled with (should she end up doing that) isn't necessarily fatal, although given that it's not sentient, wouldn't seem particularly all that interesting. But maybe to somebody entangled to it, and that's a few thousand years of age, it's another matter entirely.

What does belief have to do with it? I don't believe in gods, but if I saw a sufficiently powerful being, that's probably what I'd call it.

And you'd be making the same mistake as the Peruvians made when the Spanish Conquistador Pizarro arrived with better technology. They called the Spanish "Children of the Sun" and were so dazzled that they failed to object when their king Atahualpa was kidnapped, and despite the outrageous ransom being paid, was arbitrarily killed anyway.
You want to go mistaking good technology for godhood, please don't be my leader.

Thank you. History is full of people mistaking technology for godhood and paying for it later.

Although the specifics around all of that are quite a bit less exotic and mystical than we might have hoped for.

So we're not going to find out what happened when the nano bird fired the laser at the moon, are we. :/

That was... somewhat unsatisfying.
