RUBY.

[Elphelt takes a deep breath. She doesn't like having to be firm, but she will when necessary! And it is necessary here!!!]

You can't live a lie. It's not who you are--just look at how much it is already bothering you! You need to own up to what you did and make it right.

[She expects so much more of Ruby! But she also knows Ruby can fix this.]

I won't make you do it alone. I'll come with you...for emotional support and a character witness.

[Maybe she can get the jail sentence lowered a decade or two.]
