And yet, at the same time, it is--it's something Harrow has missed seeing, and she lets the scene wrap her up like a familiar warm blanket. It's home. But it's off, it's not right, she's not sure of the framing or who some of these people are and she knows it is a memory that isn't her own. The argument stings her ears, for all that she's trying to ignore it, hoping that Prince Kiriona either doesn't notice her or suddenly doesn't hate her anymore, somehow.
Because all she wants in the world, really, is for Gideon Nav to love her again. It makes sense that she doesn't, because Harrow does not deserve that love, but it sure would be nice. It would be nice enough it would be worth watching the unfolding of a true horror to her; despite it all, she watches until she can't anymore. She watches until she presses her eyes closed and swallows her single cry. And she gives herself away, because she is unable to stop herself from whispering: ]
Eternal rest grant unto him, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Make clear and easy his path across the River.
[ She looks in shock, more than anything, but she doesn't look away from the corpse prince that was once her Gideon. ]
