Annabelle felt like she had woken from a long fog. She realized she was likely on the verge of forming a heart demon but her sisters had prevented it. They had respected her desire to keep away from Lind but never let her go.
She felt touched by that but angry at herself. She could see clearly now that she had allowed her anger and grief to control her rather than controlling them. She knew better.
"I was too angry at him. I made the same mistake as him too." It was ironic that she left him because of him pushing people away but she did the same blasted thing. Still, it did not affect her decision one iota.
There was a massive difference between them. She left him only while never turning away her sisters or others. She did not simply treat people as obstacles either. It was just painful to be around them.
She still had gone too far.
