Ruby exhales a breath, partly because of Peter and Robert and similarities between them, partly because she has some feelings about these harrowings that she's pretty sure aren't necessarily the point. She has to bite the inside of her cheek and remind herself, and yet she can't help the horrified catch of her breath when Adelaide explains it.
Locking people up with demons in the Fade? It wasn't right. And while it doesn't shock her that Adelaide was prepared (she knows she did, obviously, but the preparation thing is key) it doesn't make it right.
She tries to imagine if someone breathed of testing Emma's magic that way, even as a grown woman, and how her parents would react.
She doesn't means to say it, but-- ) That's... cruel.
( Quiet and appalled and bewildered, really. )
Anders explained tranquility to me, but...
God. ( To see it happen to someone you loved - imagining it happen to Emma or Snow or David was agonising enough, but your love? Imagining Peter didn't count. She's sure it'd be better than being torn apart, but by how much?
At least Robert had chosen. And Ruby honestly thinks that if she'd had such a choice, she might have taken it, too. )
Me too ugh what is this hell

Adelaide, I'm sorry.
