I think the double standards are pretty bad, yeah. I don't think I'm better or nicer than you guys or Libby or whatever.
[no argument there.]
I wasn't going to stop, because I don't know how many points it takes to save everyone. I have no idea how many people we needed, and whether either of our teams ever even came close to the number. So it wasn't about beating Justice for me. If Livio and Amelia kept going too, that would probably have been a good thing, but they didn't want to! And I mean, yeah, I feel better knowing no matter what happens I'll save Rin and Gerard, but I also trust Livio and Amelia. But Netzach and Yuzuriha trusted us, not your team, for a very specific reason.
[she swallows.]
And - I've thought about it a lot, and you don't get to blame me for Zelda. You don't. I could just go around saying, well, if Count D didn't kill Rin, I wouldn't have killed anybody, so it's all his fault, but that's fucking stupid. I have to be responsible for the people I decided to hurt, and that's Lambda, and you, and Yakumo, and Fei Du, and Netzach, and Yuzuriha, and Shenhe. And the people who loved them and grieved for them. That's a lot of people. But you decided to kill Zelda and Fukuzawa. I don't think you're horrible for that. I even understand why you did it. But you don't get to blame me for your decision.
