Relationships in the opening

Mark Calls Amy Selfish After Her Sacrifices

Amy remembers helping Mark survive public and personal crises, only to see him prepare a ceremony with her foster sister. The ring, handmade cloak, and family crest turn broken promises into specific losses. When she asks what their history means, he invokes Clara's illness and calls her selfish. The opening examines how an appeal to compassion can silence the person whose own care and injuries are being disregarded.

How does Mark's appeal to Clara's needs avoid answering Amy's questions about their promises?
