It brings her no pleasure to see Gustave upset, nor put Verso in a situation he will surely feel pain from, but she knows every moment with Verso under this roof is another moment prolonging the inevitable. She doesn’t have the heart to carry guilt about where a fully-grown sense of betrayal might leave them. It is easier, ultimately, for either of them to be cross with her now, when they still have a chance with each other.
She watches Verso’s face when he confesses. She wonders: what’s happened to change the story?
She waits before responding. It’d be cold comfort to assure Gustave of anything right now, of anything they’d been through or whatever Verso had done after to earn their trust. Her friend needs to feel the situation first, and there’s no avoiding that. Maelle has him in her sights, and Sciel feels no need to comfort Verso. Sneaky as he can be, he has never fled the scene of a disagreement.
