Jacqueline wasn't sure what to think of Marian. She didn't like hearing that her biological mother was a mental pushover. Maybe it meant that she was, at least when she was still human. Wait. Jacqueline was human.

And lonely. Jaqueline felt very lonely. She keeps herself together very well during the day. But when she's in her room alone at night, she sobs herself to sleep, worrying about where Luke may be, whether he's still alive. And now that Mina was thinking about going into torpor, she'd be all alone. With no family left.

Then Jacqueline realized that Mina had deflected the conversation. So of course, she had to work it right back in. And there's no better way than honesty.

"I'd be a lonely girl if you disappeared from my life," she said. It didn't sound depressing, or angry. Jacqueline just said it like it would be fact.
