Of course he knows about Taylor, but she knows as well as anybody that knowing it and believing it aren't the same thing. She can think of a few things she 'knows' herself.
What do you even say to that? Should she say she disagrees? That even his useless jerk aunt and uncle probably don't deserve to be Controllers? He knows that, that'd just make him feel worse. Try to comfort him? Would he just think she was babying him again?
Cassie would know. Cassie wasn't here, and she doesn't think she'd be welcome in this moment anyway. Ugh, why couldn't his pain just turn into something she could fight? Then she'd know what she was doing, at least.]
... How can I help?
[Better than nothing, even if she feels like a dork just asking like that.]
