Her fraternal twin could easily stop her, turn the Gom Jabbar to her and end her entirely, years of training under the Bene Gesserit would will it-but Irulan can't bring herself to turn on her sister the way she has turned on her. Sympathetic to Vitani's frustration, her heartache, her bitterness, her exhaustion.. .Irulan keeps her voice steady, her breathing calm as she states, "I've only done what was expected of me, sister. Acting in the best interest of the Imperium, fortifying our family, upholding our father's rule. . .in awe of you for your freedom to abuse your duties with little consequence." "You marrying him is my consequence." Vitani seethes, just as the Gom Jabbar dares to prick Irulan's perfect skin. *** Warning: explicit violence, sexual situations, and language (Face claim for oc: Yara Shahidi)
