(A year ago this would have had her hissing and spitting but now... she's learning that it isn't an attack. That Ellie doesn't say these things about the both of them just to fuck her over, or make things difficult and uncomfortable for her. She says them because she's trying to come to terms with this mess; when people reach out to her, she's started reaching back.
And she wouldn't have left the story half-told either, she would have been honest. Perhaps brutally so.
Abby runs her tongue over her teeth. Maybe, after all they've done to each other, it's better as a lost cause, but– god, it's so tough to find the words to explain how she feels.)
I can't forget what she did. (Is the easiest way to get her point across, she thinks. She sounds slightly strained.) Even if we find some way to get past that... (It's insulting. Her crew would hate her for it.
Even though they already kinda did, at the end. Most of them, anyway.)
