Not enough to put a number on. The shape below is drawn from what there is, with the widest uncertainty band we use — it is the start of an answer, not one.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

“I felt my heart break for her in that moment she saw Bernard come towards her and *knew* she was about to die. So often in shows or movies, people have this amped up over the top scream and stuff. Her weakly stuttered "no" was just soo terribly sad. That's how it would really be. Just this shock and complete disbelief and unspeakable fear that your life is almost over in a few seconds.”
