Sigma recognizes the intruder's voice and regrets backing down on his aggression. Lifting himself from the cavern floor, he forces his electric eye online to keep a close watch on R, disgust plain on his red face. Unfortunately he cannot struggle for power nor contest Eva's judgment in his condition, for it would be a short and fatal disagreement; his stubborn silence signals his resignation to R's company and he turns his face away from them in a tranquil fury. A buried and festering inclination towards vengeance is fed as R's role is explained to him... Sigma is starving, short of temper, and consumed by fever. Childishly he hopes the branch is poisonous. Could a zombie suffer?

As Eponine vomits, Sigma takes care of it this time, burying her sick quickly and unflinchingly. Eva is holding her ground, their strong and stubborn matriarch that would keep Eponine alive at any cost, and it is apparent to Sigma that she will not back down - and so the Doctor is the one who rushes to comfort Eponine from R.

"Shh, my dear. I've made it here, remember?" Equally offended, he is not afraid to tell her what he thinks she wants to hear this time. Even a veteran to suffering did not come away from that battle unscathed. "He cannot do anything. I will not let him." While he lifts a hand to trace the tears on Eponine's cheek, his words are accusatory. He bounced back and forth on his opinion on R as the situation warranted, and right now Sigma believed saving his life had meant very little if it only changed whose jaws ended up ripping him apart postmortem.
