The death scene did seem a little harsh to Sherri, but she wasn't about to take a side when she had no idea what exactly was going on. She nodded to Bran and smiled at him, as well, but in a friendly-but-not-too-friendly way she'd practiced while caught up in her father's church politics.
Somehow, she didn't think the fact that the scene was short would make Lotte feel better. She wasn't sure that Ella would be swayed with any alternative suggestions, either, so she thought very hard on the scene, trying to remember anything about it that might make it unsuitable. Of course, Romeo and Juliet hadn't exactly been her favorite reading assignment, any of the times she'd had to read it.
