“I’ve decided,” you say to her after a pause. “If it’s true what you say about Jade — about your sister — then it’s time for a reckoning.”

You begin to walk together back down the slope in the direction of the mountain path that you were on earlier.
“Careful?” you say. “What do you mean? I’ve known Jade for years. She’d never do anything to hurt me.”
