❝ Annie. ❞
The older woman’s speech is garbled, but she does her best to voice her words loudly enough so the younger woman can hear them. She also tries to keep her voice even, but she can’t hide all undertones of worry which make themselves known. The Quell announcement had shocked EVERYONE, but she knows that Annie, her precious child, might have taken it harder than others. That’s precisely why she’s he- re now: to ease her pain by any means possible. It might not be easy, but she absolutely cannot stand to see either one of her children sad, so she will try her best.
❝ It’s me, Mags. I thought you might want some company. ❞
