Yeah, it's me.

I'm sorry I couldn't come save you, but I'm relieved you're out now. I still don't know where that fucking well is.


[Not "I couldn't come save you because I didn't know where it was"; even if she had known, she wouldn't have been able to do a thing for him. Javert's description of the Fog God's plight horrified Amanda enough to stay her hand. Not that any of it keeps her from hating herself for her inaction...but she's been very deep in self-hatred overall ever since she got back.]
