[Letting go of her arm, Mary tries to give her gaze steady toward Moran as she gives her reply. Being forced to hear M's voice like this, to be touched by his hands, all the while knowing they weren't really his, was probably nothing but torture for Moran. It might have been better for her to just comply to Moran's wish and stay silent as she lets the other woman go.
But, even if that might please Moran for now, Mary can't do that. She won't lie anymore. To herself and to everyone she cares for. After all, while she might have been just a tool to him before, if there's something she can do for the people important to her, then she won't hesitate to do it.
Even if they weren't welcomed in the first place.]

I am sorry, but I... can't do that.
