[There really is something to that thing about your life coming into focus when you're about to die.
In Emily's case, she's not sure she's going to get killed, but she knows something is coming as soon as Chris moves. Whether that's because the wendigo senses it or the human does, the result is the same. As she feels the creature shriek in her bones, she focuses on the moving body in front of her that is Chris, and relaxes.
She thinks of how anyone else might have already killed her by now, or at the very least not have taken the risk of letting her out of her room in her state. She thinks of how she's yelled at every one of her friends who's here so far, even Sam, though that Emily can chalk up to the wendigo's rage. She thinks about Jessica and what she'd say if she could see her former best friend now. She thinks of Matt, who might just let her kill him if it came down to it. God knows she almost got them both killed on the tower.
It's stupid -- she has enough clarity to realize that -- because for all that Chris was ready to send her to her death on the mountain, she doesn't see him killing her. But maybe she's wrong. She's a monster, for fuck's sake. She just tried to kill him. Hell, maybe dying is the best way. Then he and the others will be safe, and she won't have ho fight this anymore.
Even though she can't truly see him anymore, she glances up at him as he raises an arm. She can't talk, but maybe he can read her anyway, how she isn't angry with him for his choice, just angry in general at this shit.
Then she holds still against the violent rage of the wendigo, and Chris's attack connects, and her world goes black.]
