ii!

It's horrific.

Rue does not mean to peer into the mirrors of others once they begin to understand what each one is displaying. They seem to show memories of sorts, some true and some manipulated, these secret blips into the lives that ADI's employees lived before coming here to work for them. So truly, Rue does not mean to pry, it would be entirely indecorous to, but it just keeps happening by accident.

So Rue catches Yelena staring frozen in front of one of those terrible mirrors and immediately moves to her side, intends to bodily pull the woman away for her own sake, but the scene draws the owlbear in just the same, leaves them still at Yelena's side as they watch the woman slash another's throat, the spray of blood so intense it cause Rue to jerk back as if splashed.

And before they can even speak, the mirror is shattered to pieces and Rue throws up a wing to protect both themself and Yelena from the sprinkling of shimmering pieces of glass.

"Yelena! Oh, are you quite alright?"
