Rose freezes as he explains further, eyes still wide, but now with a horror slipping in. He'd seen..... what happened to her?
Just how much had he seen? The thought is a stab right through the core of her, and Rose slowly closes the locket, lets it slip from her fingers. What happened to that little girl is something that no child should witness.
"You sawβ" A quiet gasp cuts off her own words. For a horrible moment, Rose doesn't know what to say or what to do. She doesn't want to directly ask, doesn't want him to have to think about it any more than he clearly already has.
"...I sawβ I saw something, too. Of your.. past, I think. People trying to hurt you." Rose swallows, brow furrowing. When she asks, it's softly: not afraid, but as gentle as she can, trying to stave down the lump in her throat.
