[It's true. What changes, really, when everything has already been shattered beyond repair? When the men involved are dead and removed from the context where any of this mattered?
Knowing Doppio is the other, hidden persona of her biological father does nothing for her except offer some final closure on the discrepancy between the boy her mother once fancied and the man who would kill her dead if death meant anything here. It solved the puzzle of why they looked like twins as little boys, and answered the questions Beatrice taunted her with.
Still, she expected something to feel...different. It does, but it's just so small. Like everything has shifted an inch to the side, enough that she bumps into the new context every so often with mild surprise. It's not unlike rearranging furniture in a home long unchanged and bumping your knee into the end table that had always been there, but is more obtrusive for its new placement on the living room floor.
In fact, it's almost nice he still calls Diavolo his "Boss". A familiar thing in a very strange dynamic that she nevertheless has become accustomed to.]
I'll admit I'm surprised by that. I'm sure he trusts me as much as I trust him.
[So, not at all.]
Was he upset to know we'd been talking behind his back?
