THAT... was a BIG question... And one Seraphina honestly didn’t truly KNOW the answer to... There was a lot of REPRESSED EVERYTHING to it. Layers upon layers that Seraphina dared not DIG BENEATH to find the true emotions that lingered there -- TWITCHING & HOSTILE. “Can we not?” She asked. Feeling the RUMBLINGS of something... UN-PROMISING. Bleeding insecurity and rage. The former tied to Helena. The latter to Benjamin. The words BANE OF HER EXISTENCE might have been SCREAMED against her skull. “She’s a THREAT. She’s DANGEROUS. She’s...” She’s a PSYCOPATH. And her biggest FEAR. In many ways she HATES HER. But at least she could say there was something UNDENIABLY BONDING there. Maybe it was in RELATABILITY. Maybe it was the KIDS. Maybe it was just down to HELENA HERSELF. (In a way, she hoped it was ALL THREE.) But there was a REASON she had STOPPED that investigation. STOPPED HERSELF from locking away Delilah and STEALING AWAY THOSE KIDS. “Look, it’s COMPLICATED, okay? I’m ALLOWED to not know this. So just... DROP IT...”
“...PLEASE...”
