Then Taylor had made overtures at friendship. Taylor had invited herself into that place, that void, and had stayed when Bitch fucked up.
…oh yeah, I suppose she did.
Despite the last we saw of the two together (though we know more meetings between them have happened since) being Taylor chewing out Rachel for betrayal, Taylor was still pretty clear about wanting to stay as friendly as was possible between them, and I suppose she does remain the closest thing Rachel actually has to a human friend.
Taylor’s efforts are starting to pay off.
The scrawny kid had stood her ground instead of running when Bitch called her out on something.
And she called Rachel out on something herself and still indicated wanting to stay.
And maybe, just a little, in some small way, Bitch had gotten a glimpse at what she’d been missing out on.
…in a sense.
Their relationship isn’t exactly something to write home to Princess Celestia about just yet, but it’s more than Rachel has had with anyone in a long, long time. If ever.
Only to find out it was a ploy. An act, so that Taylor could get the group’s confidence.
Oh for f–
…oh.
Ohhh.
So that’s why she was so much more pissed about the whole thing than anyone else.
