[Gamora doesn't confirm verbally right away. She sighs silently and moves towards his bed. She takes a seat there because this is a story she has carried with her for so long. It is a heavy burden that has sucked all the joy from her life. She needs a moment to find the words to express the profound amount of pain that has been inflicted upon her. She preferred when he ripped out her bones and spine to make way for the enhancements. It was easier when he put her in a position to harm the one person she did dare to love under his gaze.]
The price of the soul stone is to end the life of the one you love the most. A soul for a soul. [Gamora repeats evenly.] Of all the children he has stolen, tormented, and turned into weapons, he favored me the most. Thanos truly believes he loves me. He wanted me to rule the grateful universe of survivors even after I betrayed and tried to kill him. He considered it a child's rebellion. Nothing worth getting upset about.
[She scoffs at the dismissiveness of her attempt to live as a free woman. Gamora smiles bitterly.] He dared to cry about having to kill me. Can you even imagine it? The Great Mad Titan crying like a child for his daughter. He wept for his great sacrifice to the universe and how it cruelly stole his little one from him.
[Gamora has to laugh at it. It is so unbelievably stupid and cruel.] He is insane. If there is any justice in the universe, he'll receive nothing for my life.
[The dark humor of the situation doesn't amuse her for long. She finishes somberly:] But, we both know there is none so I wished for him to die with me. That is my gift to our grateful universe. I will take his insanity with me to my grave.
[Gamora finally stops to see if he has anything to say about this information.]
