"You ruined it. You don’t want anyone to care." // "I am done with being afraid, and I am done with you." // “You’re a liar. A lying liar who lies.” { aoife and aednat p l s)
"You ruined it. You don’t want anyone to care."
The comment caused Aoife’s heart to sink to her stomach, an unsettling feeling she’d had since she joined the Death Eaters and kept it a secret from her family. While fear dominated her actions, guilt had been swallowing her whole. She’d abandoned her family, the people she should love and follow, but instead she decided on a different path, and for potentially empty promises and the feeling that maybe she wasn’t useless after all.
    It stung to hear those words, especially from her sister; her younger sister whom she was supposed to protect and set an example for. The person she was supposed to help out, and if it came down to it, save — not be on the enemy line killing her allies.
         ❝Maybe you shouldn’t have cared in the first place.❞
"I am done with being afraid, and I am done with you."
Aoife had never liked confessions, or confrontations. She never liked hearing how people felt, especially not when it pertained to her. Especially not when they were telling her they wanted nothing to do with her anymore. Of course, she had expected it the moment she joined the Death Eaters. She knew what would happen to her relationship with everyone she cared for, yet she hadn’t expected the warmth in her hands to disappear, and the blood to rush to her cheeks.
    She thought she could get herself to not care. Her family was fighting the good fight, it was what she wanted. But she didn’t want the divergence between her and her sister. Not like this.
         ❝Tragic. I guess I’ll be going, then.❞
"You’re a liar. A lying liar who lies."
Her sister’s words were true. Aoife had promised she would fight beside the family, to avenge the great aunt they’d lost and put an end to the Death Eater threat that seemed to be getting worse and worse as the days passed. But instead, she joined them; she’d gone out and done what her family would look down on her for.
         ❝You’re right.❞
    She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and folded her arms over her chest.
         ❝You’re right,❞ she repeated. ❝Nice word play, sis.❞
