“She’s not thinking straight.  What I did-”

Is she cutting herself off because she doesn’t want to talk about what she did, or is someone cutting her off by challenging her to elaborate on what that is?

Or maybe Lisa, who surely already knows what Amy did, has something to say.

“Doesn’t matter,” Tattletale said.

And it’s a victory to the third one.

Amy shook her head, talking over her, “She’s always been emotional, passionate, unrestrained, and she’s channeling all this new emotion into hate, because it’s the closest equivalent.” 

To love?

And yes, that sounds like the Victoria I’ve come to know. I’d also add “rash”, though I suppose that’s implied by the mixture of the things Amy already said.

“New emotion?” Regent asked.  “You mean you mindraped her.”

You’re one to talk.

But yes. By accident and about as much Victoria’s fault as Amy’s, but yes.

Amy looked like she’d been slapped across the face.  I wasn’t surprised, but hearing it said out loud was unsettling.

“Seriously?”  Imp voiced the incredulity that everyone else seemed to be feeling.

Okay but seriously, if any of you actually still care about saving Victoria, you probably should save this conversation for later.
