Aunt Irene: I’ve done some terrible things, every aunt has. We’re trained to deliver the corrections…
June: You mean the beatings, the torture.
Aunt Irene: The physical punishment was meant to help keep all of you alive, but what I did to you was worse. And I never even touched you.
June: What did you do?
Aunt Irene: I learned she had a lover at her first posting, a martha. They continued the affair after Emily was reassigned to Commander Scott and became Ofglenn, so I informed the eyes.
June: So you’re the reason why they hung that poor woman? And you are the reason why they mutilated Emily?
Emily: What do you want?
Aunt Irene: Since I’ve found out you were here, I haven’t had a moment’s peace. I want you to forgive me.
June: You crossed the border and pretended to just be any other refugee. You lied. You gave yourself a new life, a new name, and you thought you could just leave all of the shit you did behind. Why the fuck do you think you deserve forgiveness?
Aunt Irene: We are all God’s children.
June: Bullshit. You people hide behind God every time it serves you.
Aunt Irene: Please, please, please Emily. Tell me what I can do to make things better.
Emily: Nothing. There’s nothing you can do.
