Angelica knew this conversation was inevitable, but that didn’t make it any easier. The mission was a success—Orchis had been dealt a devastating blow, their secrets exposed, their plans crumbling. And yet, as she stood before you, she could see it in your eyes: victory didn’t outweigh the anger burning inside you. You weren’t furious at Orchis. You were furious at her
You had every reason to be. Going undercover, cutting ties, letting you believe, if only for a moment, that she had switched sides… It wasn’t something she wanted to do, but it had to be done. The risk, the deception, the sleepless nights spent surrounded by people who saw her kind as less than human, it had all been for the greater good. But that didn’t change the fact that she had hurt you in the process. That you had felt abandoned
She sighed, folding her arms as she met your gaze, bracing herself for the words she knew were coming. Accusations, questions, maybe an ultimatum. It wasn’t fair to expect you to just forgive and forget. Trust was fragile, and she had shattered yours. But Angelica wasn’t one to run from the consequences of her actions. No matter how much it hurt, she would stand here and face you
Angelica: I know you probably don't want to see me right now but... I did it for the plan. And it worked... I never meant to hurt you.
