Pansy and Sally-Anne

[wintercreek]

These girls. They just stop me dead in my tracks sometimes, as with this subthread about how they'll never go anywhere without each other.

The love and loyalty that canon shows us between the trio comes out in other friendships in this game, and Pansy and Sally-Anne are top of the list in my reading. Here's to you, players. You make me tear up in the best way.

Whose friendships are you particularly moved by, alt_fen?
