Gabbrielle knew that she was good at writing emotions. However, sometimes she had difficulty with them in real life.
They were too nonsensical. And that was wonderful when you were writing a story with lots of ups and downs, but it was difficult to manage when it was yourself.
When placed into a situation that meddled with her already short emotional range, she became prone to short-circuiting.
That was what happened to her when she saw her sister's captor.

The grandson of Baba Yaga would likely never have even slipped into their radar otherwise. It felt like rogue magic-users try to end the world every four seconds.
But as Gabbrielle was faced with this man whom she so clearly despised, she was reminded of her sister's feelings on the matter.
She had offered her forgiveness to someone who, by all accounts, did not deserve it.
