She's silent a long time before voicing her conclusion. "That's something the girl I was trying to catch -- the Voidtrekker -- was saying. I didn't believe her. And now here I am." She took a moment more to consider, her tone lowering and becoming... hurt, rather than angry. "...how long have you known that? How long have you been lying to me about being my childhood friend?"
