While Clara's starting to understand how all this works, she still doesn't understand how the Gamemakers think. And quite honestly, she doesn't want to know.

“You're right, we wouldn't kill each other, but we also wouldn't be much help to each other.” And there are people in here who she'd like to see win over her (like Dave), and she won't be able to do anything about that if she's making sure Dennett doesn't get them killed.

Anyways, she's not going to say it aloud, but in her opinion it's better that both of them die in here and end up in the next Arena so Alex has a fighting chance.
