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

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

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

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]

...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-?

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

But then she got upset?

Yes.

Well... what do you want to do?

I don't know.

What do you want to result? Ideally.

I want her to not hate me.

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."

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

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

It's . . .

[frowns, crossing and uncrossing her arms, tugging at the ends of her hair]

I . . . What I really want is for her to find a way to be happy without ruining what she has.

"What she has"?

A life where she isn't labeled a murderer by Aather.

Why do you think she cares about that...? I wouldn't care about that. Is that her priority, or yours...? Has she expressed wanting that?

[genuinely confused]

She hasn't, but she'll be upset about it if she happens. She wants peace.

Okay, I think I see the conflict...

Do you?

Well, that's the part where you decided for her, isn't it?

I don't think it's out of line for you to do so, but if you're deciding what should happen to get results that she hasn't expressed wanting... I mean, you know? I want a life where I don't have to kill, but that doesn't mean I'd be happy if I were forced to put my priorities aside for someone else.

So I should let her make choices that are going to get her the exact opposite thing she wants?

Why is it 'let'? What if she has two wants that conflict with each other?
