[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Selina Parcellus]

Selina, who has been with Betimi the longest, easily picks up on the drastic difference.  It 'helped' (if you can call it that) that she had personally experienced a fraction of what Betimi currently was, but she turns to her longest ally and says "I know what you're going through.  I know you're not normally this negative.  I'm certain none of us will hold it against you that something else is affecting your mood.  We still have your back, Betimi.  We're all still here."
