BALCONY - Andromeda & Tonks
The correct answer was yes, she did prefer to be alone. Tonks knew that was the correct answer, the answer she needed to give for herself and for the mission. Talking to this version of her mother might make her feel slightly better for a moment, but would ultimately not end well, she was sure. Yet somehow, the correct answer wasn't what came out of her mouth.
"No, it's okay. I'm not actually sure being alone is doing me any favors anyway." Not that talking to Andromeda was going to help anything either. She'd probably only miss her more, if that was possible. She missed all of them, really.
