I talked big, but I didn't really have a "revenge plan" in my mind. Doing people harm is a huge project, and just thinking about it exhausts me.

"Whatever you want to do, we are here for you," Aurora says this, only to dart a weird glance at Adrian -

She could only speak for herself and Lilith on that one, but it's also awkward to specially exclude him from it.

Aurora darts her eyes away, pressing her lips downward as they try to curve up as if having their own minds.
