Yes, she'd known Byerly had been brought in to Duv's interrogation, but somehow she hadn't imagined him much of an active participant, not when Piotr has plenty of men willing and practiced at it, not the least of all himself. But the worst thing is, it...it doesn't sound implausible. Not at all. Piotr isn't a heartless monster, but Sonia knows what he's willing to do to win the war. She isn't quite as sheltered from that as Piotr and Olivia might think.

She falters, rocking back a half-step, looking sick and still hurt and now, creeping back into her expression, angry. Her throat works for a moment before she manages to get any words out.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she demands, finally, as though she could have talked Piotr out of it. As though it were stupid not to tell her, as though it were some lie of omission.
