[The way Cassandra pulls away from the contact hurts. They... they'd been getting along so well. She'd felt comfortable with Cassandra, and she thought Cassandra had felt the same way with her. Just what in her memories had changed so suddenly that she's now pulling away like this?]
... What?
[Betrayed? Cassandra? Elsa can't believe it. Cassandra had been so adamant about looking out for all of them, she can't imagine her betraying someone else. Unless... something happened....]
You can talk to me, Cassandra. I promise, I won't... I won't judge you for anything. We're... we're friends, right?
[Friends. She tries not to let her voice crack a that word. This felt so similar to Varian's breakdown after the trial, and yet this pain in her chest is so different. She was worried for Varian, but she's scared for Cassandra, and this... whatever it is happening with them right now.]
