I don't know.

[ He shrugs. ]

Maybe you don't even know yourself.

[supercatty]

[hahaha. . . ha. . .]

[she looks away]

. . .

Yeah, well. Maybe I don't.

[said quietly]

[shaft]

[ Looks at her for a long time. ]

... I don't blame you for it.

[supercatty]

[. . . an ear flick]

For-- what, killing Byleth? Or not understanding who I am?

[shaft]

For killing Byleth. [ ... ] Why would I blame you for the second one?

[supercatty]

. . . I don't know.

[a flick of her tail, and she falls silent for a moment]

[. . .]

I thought. . . [. . .] I thought it'd be more cruel to make Byleth keep murdering when she didn't want to.

[shaft]

[ He nods. ]

Being trapped in a situation that you can't get out of is a terrible thing. Whether it's your own doing or someone else's.

I don't think Byleth wanted to die, but we had no guarantees that she wouldn't keep killing people.

... I would've killed her too.

[supercatty]

[at that, her head shoots up, ears perking forward]

[. . .]

[she says nothing, but clearly-- she's surprised]

[shaft]

[ His expression doesn't say much, he just watches her. ]

Does that make you angry?
