[ There's a brief pause, but then Ange looks over at Anna and speaks up again. ]
I mean.. You said you were only going to ask her some questions. [ Which is still not great for Ange to think about, but at least she can acknowledge there that the sense of dread it induces inside of her heart is mostly just her overreacting, just trauma speaking more so than her actual brain. ]
Why would I avoid you over that?
[ Or over this conversation, for this matter. Sure, it was a little hurtful, but Ange is much worse. She's been verbally and physically drilled into the ground by absolutely everyone all her life, this is nothing in comparison.
Even though she can still feel that hurt right now, even though it's still visible in her eyes - it'll fade.
