When Daniella awoke, she found herself seated at the head of a long dining table, the room around it adorned very little, but any trained eye could tell that each piece was worth far more than its appearance would suggest.
She remembered this place.
It was the dining hall of the Cathedral Family Home back in the Mercury Galaxy, and she remembered often sitting in her father's seat and playing head of the house with her siblings when they were younger.
After glancing at the room, she finally turned her gaze to the other end of the table, where one of said siblings sat opposite her.
For a moment, there was silence.
And finally, Daniella spoke up.
"…you could have broken out, couldn't you?"
Her question had no context, but Angela understood what she was talking about even then. Daniella was asking about the time when she had gone to steal the power of the slumbering Jamie so she could maintain the seal on Angela's soul.
"Why didn't you?"
