Amy looked away.
“We could get you a therapist. I mean, Mom was setting aside money for Dad’s care, we could use that to give you someone to talk to.”
“I… a therapist wouldn’t be able to help.”
A lot of people say that. A lot of those are wrong.
“Geez, what’s going on? Amy, we’ve been together for a decade. I’ve stood by you. I’d like to think we were best friends, not just sisters. And you can’t tell me?”
They have their differences, but it’s always been clear that the two of them are close.
Even in Interlude 2, I think.
“I can’t. Just let me leave. Trust me when I say it’s better.”
“Fuck that! I’m not about to let you walk away!” Victoria floated closer, reaching out.
“And you can’t fly away like I can, either!”
“Don’t touch me,” Amy warned her sister.
Is that a threat?
Looking lost, Victoria stopped and spread her arms. “Who are you, Amy? I don’t even recognize this person I’m looking at. You go berserk at the bank robbery over some secret I’ve totally not gotten on your case about. You apparently say something to Skitter that causes this huge commotion in the hospital after the Endbringer attack.
Wait, what?
Hm… I suppose she did indirectly cause that. She’s the one who alerted Skitter to the fact that the big shots wanted to talk to her, which alarmed Skitter and caused her to go on the run, causing her to accidentally discover Shadow Stalker’s civilian identity, and so on.
You… I don’t even know what to say about your reaction to Gallant’s death, the way you distanced yourself from me at a time when I was hurting the most.”
…ouch.
Amy was close to Gallant too, wasn’t she? Not in quite the same way, but maybe she distanced herself from Victoria because seeing Victoria grieve was a painful reminder for her?
