( They've both of them been betrayed by someone they trust. That is an unhappy realisation. )
There was... when the Spire was annulled I came to discover in terrible ways that people who I had... held in high regard and trusted were not worthy of that esteem. The betrayal was a different one, but I am... I wish you had not experienced that hurt.
( It's different, both of their circumstances, so incredibly that it can be hard to believe at times. ) I know I do not excel at articulating things always, and putting events of the past to words are a great struggle, but... if ever there are things you wish to know of me and what I am doing, I will tell you gladly. I've no desire for there to be secrets between us.
( Which is a bit of a leap from Cosima being observed and that betrayal, but... but it seems important to say, and for Cosima to understand. She wants to be someone Cosima can trust without worry, who she knows she can question or learn more about without struggle. )
