[ The name still sends a cold chill through her, even after all this time. She'll be happy never to hear it again, but it is a needed confirmation. Jaskier had said as much, though she's not sure if he remembers anything else as well. Honestly, she doesn't clearly remember a lot of that time, herself-- and trying to do so now is bringing back all sorts of unwanted feelings she hasn't pulled out to re-examine in years. Not fully.

[ She knows what he isn't saying. What he must have seen. ]
