   Summary

   When Rachel Berry is forced to duet with Quinn Fabray — the same girl who watched her get slushied without a word — she expects cruelty, not quiet apologies in empty choir rooms or a voice that cracks on Sondheim like it’s hiding something broken.
   But every rehearsal chips away at the armor. Between resentment and harmony lies the terrifying truth: the person she hates most might be the only one who truly sees her.
   Faberry slow burn. Heavy angst. Enemies to lovers. Some silences hurt worse than slushies.
