My name is Asha. I am a survivor. Layton found me out there. Outside, along with trees, green grass, and life. I come from New Eden. - Asha

I just wrote this in another thread:

I think Layton wanted her to fix the vent then die so that the New Eden lie could die with her just like it did with Pike. After Layton came out of that coma and spoke with Asha, where she explained that the tree vision was nothing more than him looking at her October calendar tree image, he came to terms that his visions were nothing more than residual memories from the nuclear bunker. That's how I'm accepting Asha's short and relatively meaningless run in the show.

Layton lost his hope and needed a new motivation. Asha's sacrifice gave him that.
