“Say it.”
“It wasn’t last night, but I overheard something at the hospital. Something involving you and Armsmaster?”
Oh shit.
Time for Sierra to learn some backstory, perhaps?
I sighed, suddenly reminded of how weary I felt. I saw her expression fall. She said, “I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“No. It’s fine. What did you hear?”
“That you betrayed your team, and that you’d wanted to be a hero but, um,” she paused, “Couldn’t?”
That’s… not quite what happened? Although I guess it works with a certain definition of “couldn’t”.
She’d changed her mind about how she was going to finish speaking. What had she left out, and had she stopped herself from saying it for my sake or for her own self-preservation, not wanting to piss off the villain? I wanted to be a hero and I failed?
Hmm. Perhaps.
It’s still not quite accurate, unless you mean “failed to resist the temptation of actually having friends for once”.
