Vecna had just given her a reminder, a reminder of what she had always known to be true.

It was a reminder, a reminder of everything she had ever done wrong that lead her to where she was now. A reminder of every person who had ever been hurt because of her. A reminder that nothing she had done, and nothing she could ever do, would make up for the fact that someone, her best friend, had died because of her.
