[holy shit? holy shit, Rose. Anna can keep it up for, like, five seconds before she breaks down laughing, too, and for a second it's easy for her to forget that she's just data, the same as everything else except Rose. it's shit like this that makes them such good friends, and it just... it means that Anna made exactly the right choice. she's proud of Rose, even if she'll never be able to say it.]

I mean my parents were pushing for it, so, like, who even fucking knows with them, yeah? But, like, hard same on dodging this whole bullet. Best I can figure, it's all because you and I never really met. Which... christ, if that's what I turn into without you, can I go back in time and meet you earlier?

[the idea of changing anything about the history between the two of them hasn't been sitting right with her since she ended up inside this wack-ass data prison. there's a lot to dislike about Annalise just because of that.]
