But the near panic attack had spooked her, and concern over the fact that her sister seems to have memories that are clearly wrong is making her too eager to try to correct it. To try and prove that's not at all what's happened and that she's fine. Both to Ruby and herself.]

[Her tone isn't angry, but she's clearly on the defensive, the accompanying gesture of her arms slightly manic as she tries to put together a reasonable argument.]
I'm not dead! I didn't... If I died then...
[She pauses in the middle of another gesture as her eye catches a reflection of gold.]
Then why would I have this??
[She holds her mechanical right arm up, thrusting it forwards slightly to bring extra attention to it.
That's it. That's gotta be the ultimate proof, right? Proof she was alive. She'd survived. Yang never thought she'd draw attention to her prosthetic quite like this, but it's the only recourse she has.]
