Avisheh told Vida Veisi how she lost them without being asked. She wanted to hold it over the god's head, wanted to taunt her with the knowledge that she was, in some way, responsible for yet more misfortune.
She's told some others. The receptionist, some amputee patients who wanted to swap stories. Sometimes she lies. She prefers when she's telling the story as a weapon. She doesn't particularly want to weaponize this story against Rey, and she doesn't particularly want to make Rey feel pity for her either.
But then, a lot of people feel pity for Avisheh without her permission. It's all very annoying.
There is a long moment when Avisheh considers all of this, playing her finger around the rim of her glass and staring intently into the copper-colored liquid, punctured by cubes of ice.
Then, she swings up her legs onto the booth seat to rest with her back against the wall, placing her elbow on the table and making a show of looking very comfortable.]
Let's play a game. If you guess right, I'll tell you the truth. If you guess wrong, I'll tell you a lie.
