[Almost like she can sense the discouragement in both her Reclaimer's voices, she leans back in her chair, dispelling away the darkness charm that she had cast over the sandwich. While she won't divulge her motives of who she picked, she retains the faith in who she was able to save from the Hunger's clutches. These are the smartest, most resourceful, talented people she's ever met- and she doesn't mean in terms of comparative power levels or the ability to summon sandwiches out of thin air. Every single one of her Reclaimers are unique and brings strengths to the table that, well, balances the inevitable shortcomings of each other.

That makes sense.
[ ... He eats the sandwich. ]
