[Rachel manages to startle herself while poking around at the appliances in her small, starter apartment. With her NV in one hand as she does, it comes as no surprise that she turns it on as she backs away from an exploding toaster.
Obviously, she shouldn't be allowed near a kitchen. It's probably a good thing she doesn't need to eat. There's a moment of her just looking at the counter top -- then at the NV and her head tilts a bit to the side.
It probably shouldn't be on.] Oh. [She fumbles with it, trying to turn off the feed and finally, fed up, tries to turn it off via angel mojo. She only succeeds in blowing up a lightbulb. She looks very put-upon, very frustrated, hiding a thread of fear underneath it. She is not ready to let other know she's here. That choice has been taken from her, because of her own carelessness.
... She still can't find the right button to push.]

Actually, I am. Why would Cas- [Sure, he'd almost handed her over to Heaven- would have, if she hadn't ended up here. But Castiel hadn't been able to defeat even Uriel- someone who'd been beneath him at one time. For him to murder Rachel? One of his friends? Had there even been bad blood between them at all?]

After the Apocalypse was thwarted, he and I had a disagreement over how we should proceed. We fought. I lost. [A pause; that was a non-explanation.] He had been dealing with Crowley over dangerous power. I could not let it go.

That might explain the relationship the pair had here. Maybe.]
What sort of dangerous power?

[A pause and she shakes her head.] Opening Purgatory would only make things worse. He wouldn't listen to me. I didn't know what else I could do.
[Again... sorry, Castiel. What are secrets?]
private video
No... I would have done the same thing. Why the hell did he think opening Purgatory would help? That's not something even we can control.

[Pause. When she speaks, it's almost as if she's looking for direction. Free will is difficult, sister. Very difficult.] I did attack him. If I killed him, maybe it would save the rest of us. If he killed me, perhaps it would shake him from his path. But I... [...died. And for what? To come back grief-stricken and weary? That doesn't seem right.]
What else could I have done?
private video
But ... she isn't going to begrudge her sister, either. Not when she's just as confused and ...]
I don't know. If Cas is stupid enough to think he can pull something like that, then he maybe he should be stopped. [Killed. Anna doesn't like the thought of it, even if she already has recent brethren blood on her hands.]

What else could you do? Let him run free? You trusted your instincts; I'm kinda proud of you for it. [Off hand compliment? Y e p.]

[And quite frankly, it infuriates her. Especially after all Castiel had said and done. How much he'd begged her to help her find Free Will... Only to turn around and cut down one of the first angels to try and do the same?]
I'm sorry.
