tilly doesn’t think there’s any one person who she’d consider the right person to talk to about this, but claire is at least a seemingly unbiased party who will answer her honestly. part of her feels a little bit bad about keeping secrets thus far, then again, claire hadn’t told her about the sublevels or her brother’s involvement, so she figures they’re even! “hey,” she starts, adjusting her book bag strap over her shoulder. “can i talk to you about something? um, outside.” tilly doubts anywhere is truly private at gallagher, given recent and not-so-recent events, but she figures she might as well try. / @ofclaires
