It is. But in reality you know there's the possibility. I would hope they don't think to prolong her suffering and find a solution sooner, but they still have a lot of work and fewer of them to do it tomorrow. They might let her help, too.
You know what's the easiest way to hurt someone? Do something because you love them. And I'm sure there's a bunch there who love Kate enough to mistakenly hurt her if they're not careful.
[That's got to be among the most cynical things Erin has said during the last two months, really]
I just hope they can look past their care for Kate and do what's best for her, even...if it's ugly.

I don't disagree with you. [which may or may not surprise her, really.] We want to do what's best for the people we love, but we don't want to see them in pain or cause them more pain. But they have to remember it's temporary. They know we're here now and that most everyone arrives here after they die. Camille notwithstanding.
[but she also understands that it's a hard ask for people to just bite the bullet and mercykill.]
I trust them to figure it out. Everybody knows we're also running out of time. The longer we delay, the more problems they'll run into later.
[It does surprise her! Makes her raise her eyebrows and all]
If they don't...do it, I'll have to write to them all. Promises, reassurances, whatever it takes. I'll come up with something.
[I have no idea what Erin would have ended up writing, but it probably wouldn't have been nearly as helpful as it'd be needed. Diplomacy is not her thing]
It doesn't have to be anything drastic. Just whatever you think might be enough. A simple reassurance, or an expression of wishing them a safe trip over here? Anything like that. I'm sure when the time comes you'll know what to say.

[Erin's groan comes from deep within]
So ugly to hear Kate be called 'a safety vote'.
[It's true! But really, hearing that drives home how absolutely messed up this situation is. It's official, this all is worse than hell was]
