Luz was quiet. That was the thing: she'd been with Sharon enough that she DID see it sometimes. She was also not stupid: she had seen Rose's memories. She knew what Sharon had been, that Alessa was never really gone. She'd seen Sharon be angry, and she'd even felt shame when she hesitated to kill and Sharon had chided her for that.

Sharon, after all, had the instinct to defend herself in seconds if she needed to. At that time, Luz hadn't had that. It had been one of the first times she really felt she let her friend down.

And Alessa was reminding her of that moment.

"What could I do for her, even if I knew?"

Luz said that softly. "You probably think that I should tell her to give in, to just strike out in rage. I don't, because if everyone did that, there would be nothing but dead people every day. I know Sharon doesn't just want to act on those impulses all the time. So if I can help make that a little easier, I will."
