[11:45] GT: There is a knock on Sami's door.

 [11:45] AA: "It's open!" Which it is.

 [11:47] AA: Sami looks up from hejr desk where she's writing.

 [11:47] GT: Lily slowly pushes the door open. Her face is hard.

 [11:47] AA: "Lily?"

 [11:48] AA: "You're not here to kill me, are you?"

 [11:48] GT: "No."

 [11:48] AA: "Well uh....you want to sit down?"

 [11:50] GT: Lily sits.

 [11:51] AA: "So uh....I'd offer you some snacks but I haven't alchemized any yet."

 [11:53] GT: "I'm not that hungry."

 [11:53] AA: "Ah."

 [11:54] GT: She pulls out a notebook. "I need to ask you if Meouet talked to you about Thiago at all."

 [11:54] AA: "I don't remember. I talked to her about a lot of things, but I don't remember if one of them was Thiago."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] AA: "Actually....no, I remember talking to her about him at some point. But I don't remember if it was before or after."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] GT: "What did she say?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] AA: "I don't know. She was her usual self, I guess. Understanding, controlled, full of advice about what the right thing to do was..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:58] AA: Sami sighs. "I trusted her, Lily. Even after all the people I've trusted in the past turned on me....I never thought it would be one of my teammates."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:58] GT: "Must suck, huh," she says, a bit of venom in her voice.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:58] AA: "Yeah." She sighs.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:01] AA: "I don't expect you to forgive me, Lily. Even knowing I was manipulated into it, I know that doesn't make things better."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:02] AA: "But no matter how much you might hate me right now, it's not even half as much as I hate myself."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:03] GT: "I TOLD you," she says, not looking up. "I TOLD YOU it wasn't the right thing to do."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:04] AA: "I know. I just felt so certain at the time..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] GT: "Yeah, well. Maybe next time think about it before you go rushing off and killing people, huh."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] AA: "But I've learned my lesson. I'm never trusting anyone again, other than Beau."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:06] AA: "Lily, I don't expect you to forgive me. But I hope you can try to work with me on trying to keep us all alive from here on in."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:07] AA: "We can't have any more teammates ending up dead."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:08] AA: "I can never make up for what I did to Thiago, but I can spend my life making sure it doesn't happen to anyone else."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:08] GT: "Yeah, you'd fucking better."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:09] GT: She stands. "Thanks for your help. I'll let you know if I need anything else."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:09] AA: "Okay. My door is always open."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:11] GT: "Sure." She leaves, shutting the door behind her as she does so.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">[12:12] <span style="color:rgb(100,149,237);">AA: Sami rolls her eyes at this petty act of defiance, calls up the wind, and opens the door without getting up.
