[anna knows very quickly that she's done something wrong from the expressions she's put on ange's face. she's taken it too far, and she steps back and lets go as soon as the realization hits her. she would love to turn tail and run, because none of this is worth anyone losing their lives, but she's too slow on that, too, isn't she?]
[the stakes arrive, and they sprout up like roses between anna and her sister, and anna stands there staggered for a moment. and, of course, it never could have been anyone else—she frowns seeing the way that love has corrupted both of them. she wants to support ruby and ange. she wants to be happy for both of them. but ange is out of her mind, and ruby has been sinking just as deep for just as long.]
[anna places her hands in front of her with her palms out once she's regained her composure. it's just to show that she doesn't have any weapons on her, that she's not a threat... but it doesn't mean that she's going to roll over.]
I'm not gonna do anything to either of you, but I'm not going anywhere until you and Ange wake the fuck up, Ruby. [she says it like she really thinks she stands a chance. it must seem quaint.]
