Yeah that "Jyn talks to people and doesn't get killed" is exactly where the tension's coming from though, it goes up every conversation, and down again as she doesn't get caught, and it feels like the danger's escalating because of the cognitive distortion about coin-flips (ie: after coming up heads 10 times it doesn't feel like tails is going to be 50:50 on the next flip). It's more effective because you keep getting those moments of relief.
