Freedom to make her own choices.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

Choices about what? What do you think you were limiting?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

Her decisions about Zwei. A-And Vincent.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

What about them wouldn't you allow her to make?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

I just . . . didn't want her to kill them.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

[nods. No judgment in his voice, just:]

Why?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

Because you can't just kill someone!

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

If I killed Vincent would you be as upset?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

Yes . . . Vincent would just be brought back and nothing would have changed.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

Well, no, that's why I haven't done it yet. Is that the reason you gave her?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

That and all the trouble it'd cause when his team found out . . .

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

Well, those sound like reasonable arguments. What was her counter to it-?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

She . . . [frowns, thinking back]

I wanted to talk with the rest of Turquoise so they could help think of a solution . . . and she hated that idea. She doesn't want them to know anything. And she said—he took her Chain. She wanted to test the justice in Aather. To see what would happen if . . . if she or Vincent were killed again.

When I told her a plan like that would've involved Turquoise anyway, she got angrier. A-And said I cared more about my own feelings and Turquoise's than hers. And . . .

[and this sounds really stupid saying it all aloud now]

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

...It is her business, but it also does affect Turquoise. So, yes, it depends where your priorities lie. Personally I wouldn't kill him with the current system in place but it was really tempting to try to find a place to dump the body where nobody would find it, so I understand wanting to give it a try, but...

It sounds like she viewed it as a secret that she shared with you-?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

I was going to tell her we could keep it to the two of us and Tempest and Clue, but . . .

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

But then she got upset?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

Yes.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

Well... what do you want to do?

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

I don't know.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

What do you want to result? Ideally.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

I want her to not hate me.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

The easy way to do that is to say "Sorry, you were right, and I shouldn't have tried to tell you what to do."

Re: Day 245, Morning

[sharksong]

But then she'll think she can kill him . . . She wants to get caught.

Re: Day 245, Morning

[brociopath]

So, her not hating you isn't your first priority or greatest desire. What is?
