[ Mako is alive and it's a fact that she has no intention of forgetting. Alive because Raleigh sent her back up to the surface while he finished the job; alive because Chuck had to put her down, just because she couldn't keep herself under control to keep on working. Success for Mako has never been measured in whether or not she lives. She's a ranger and the value of her own life has never been part of the equation — and yet it somehow keeps coming up. The constant reminder tastes of disappointment. (Chuck's not the only one who doesn't look well.)
There's a stiffness to Mako's gait as she favors one side of her body over the other. Under her clothes is the handiwork of Chuck's father, makeshift stitches keeping her closed, reminding her of things she would much rather put behind the both of them. Chuck sees her approach from a distance; she comes from the direction of the academic building rather than the dorms. ]
