ShakespeaRe-Told-verse, because I've seen it a lot more recently than I've read the actualy play. Also, I cannot write Quistis.
"You don't have to do this, Ella," she said, "and I know it's upsetting that Duncan keeps taking the credit for your husband's work, but there are more important things - you have to think about what you're actually doing -" and inwardly she knew that she wouldn't be able to change anything, but she still kept trying because her conscience wouldn't allow her to stop, even though she knew it was hopeless, even though she knew that she would feel the worse for her failed efforts in the end.
