Quote 1

The King requires your life in payment, says Pinch. It's simple. You give yourself to him and they all go free. Your precious brother, your innocent little sister and your friends. (9.699)

And here we go, people—the moment of truth. Saba has proven time and time again that she's willing to risk (and even sacrifice) her life for Lugh, but now it's about Emmi. You know, Emmi—that annoying little sister Saba has been complaining about since we've met her. This is the moment that Saba finally proves her love for her sister by willingly giving up her own life to save hers.

Quote 2

She was here because of me, I says. I had to be the one. It's right that it was me. (9.397)

A mercy killing is a tough thing to even think about, if you ask us, so we'd say that Saba's decision to take responsibility for Epona is great evidence of her growing maturity.

Quote 3

Then he says, You look different.

I know, I says. My hair.

No, he says. It's more'n that. It's...you. You've changed, Saba. (9.456-458)

Lugh has experienced a lot of hardship over the past year and has surely matured a lot, but Saba has gone on an adventure that defied all expectations. She's been forced to step up to the plate, and Lugh can already tell that she's been hitting home runs.
