[The only thing stopping Aubrey from flipping off the soulless husk is that, well, she’s with Armin. More subdued shame, among the rest of the inevitable emotional cocktail, will probably set in sooner or later—but for now, it’s weirdly refreshing to be mutually baffled in a not-apparently-life-threatening situation.]
