Choice and Price - IV

On matters concerning Ansel, Seraphina, usually the most anxious, now maintained a composure that Ravenna could only envy. She turned to gaze out the window, speaking softly, "Don't you think that with Ansel already under such pressure, our questioning might only cause him more distress?"

She thought of her sister, recalling the many words Ansel had spoken to her.

Don't excessively praise Marlina's talents and fortune in front of her, don't express envy of Marlina, don't burden her with too much hope and pressure... Though Seraphina had memorized each instruction, she was unaccustomed to concealing her thoughts before Marlina and often inadvertently uttered such words. Marlina never grew angry, simply smiling and moving on.

Seraphina felt that Marlina's personality... closely resembled Ansel's. 

No, she wasn't always like this; it was after following Ansel that she naturally developed traits similar to his.
