(Lucretia doesn't know what to say in response.

If this is true, it explains everything, puts it into a clarity so crystal it stings. She left them alone for twelve years. What was meant to be a temporary solution became their lives, ones that they had had no say in constructing. She had orchestrated this grand design (oh, how clever of her, how self-sacrificing) and then failed to leave herself a safety net. What the hell has she been doing all this time?

It takes a long moment to realise she's crying, silent tears dripping down her chin. She sucks in a deep, shuddering breath and her hands feel so heavy when she lifts them to wipe at her face with her fingertips.)


I didn't know, (she whispers. It's a weak excuse. To be so myopic– no wonder Taako feels the way that he does. How could she have done this to him?)
