[It's too late. Blair was already dead, her form that was previously slumped over the terminal now falling to the ground at a single tug of her dress.
No healing magic would reach her, no matter what they did. Sophia's cries would not reach her. The Librarian's pleas would not bring her back. Nothing from Blair would be able to kill the Librarian or finish her off. Even if Blair had been alive, she may not have been able to bring herself to do such a thing to a fellow companion who seemed like-minded in ways she could admire.
All that was left was a corpse slumped to the ground, the color red tainting the then sterile ground beneath it. A former shell of a being that staked everything on a gamble. A gamble she wasn't even sure would work but if it did, it could bring forth seeds of hope in place of despair. Neither of the two initial options presented before her would have been viable - whichever option she took, it surely would not end well were she to remain alive.
Therefore, she had to die. That much she had known in her final moments. Perhaps no one would ever understand her actions as a result. But that was part of the risk involved with such a gamble - a gamble thrown together at the last moment. ]
