[For just a short second, Tuan is genuinely placated by that "yes" but as MIach elaborates on the conditions in which she intended to do so.... Tuan sinks back into a numb dissatisfaction.
And then just a tiny flash of anger that Miach is even mentioning Cian Reikado right now. Cian, who after their pact had failed, went on to accept everything that they once hated together. Cian who should have been someone Tuan could still talk to, but instead became one of them. Cian who ultimately made Tuan even lonelier in the aftermath.
Miach couldn't have known any of this, of course, but the unfairness of it echoes in her mind, adding more liquid nitrogen to an already substantive pool of ice.]
...so it just didn't matter to you, huh?
[Her voice comes weaker than she wants it to. Tuan clears her throat and tries again.]
It didn't matter to you that I really... really thought you were dead and...it hurt.
