Chapter Text
M.K. needed to convince Sarah to leave. Sarah needs to get to Kira, save her, figure this out. That is why she claimed to be too tired. She is, but she has siskot to avenge. Ferdinand needs to pay for Project Helsinki. She can rest after her work is done.
So, M.K. switches clothes with Sarah, pretending to be her. The ruse doesn't last long. But it doesn't matter. M.K. wants Ferdinand to know who killed him. Because she will kill him or die trying. Since Cosima has found a cure, she prefers the former.
Ferdinand sees her teddy t-shirt and laughs at her. Mocking everything M.K., what Veera was. Good. He does not think she is a real threat. He will learn different.
"Do you really think that you can--" Ferdinand says before M.K.'s knife is by his throat.
The last time they met, M.K. was willing to let him go. Wait for another time for her revenge. Well, the time is now.
She slits his throat. There is more blood than she remembered. She saw the aftermaths of the deaths of some of her siskot. Blood everywhere. Ferdinand lays on the floor, gasping for breath.
M.K.'s illness raises its ugly head and she has to pause to cough for a few minutes. This makes Ferdinand smile, he attempts to laugh at her pain. He doesn't deserve to die happy.
When her coughing is under control, M.K. sits down on the floor next to him. She holds onto the knife with both hands, and stabs him again in the stomach. Ferdinand makes a sound of pain.
"This is for Niki. For Beth. For Justyna. For Sofia. For Fay and Femke. For Jade. For Katja. For all my siskot." With every name, M.K. stabs Ferdinand. "And for Veera." The last stabbing is through the heart, although M.K. knows Ferdinand is dead already.
M.K. throws away the wig, the cape. She needs to cough again, staring at Ferdinand's lifeless body. She needs to leave again. She does not want to stay here. She will contact Sarah once she has found a new home. She will continue her research. Maybe she will be healed by Cosima's cure.
But whatever happens to her now, one thing is sure.
"Minä tein sen Niki. Se on ohi. Sinä voit levätä." ["I did it, Niki. It is over. You can rest."]
