What part? She said a whole bunch of things...

[ It felt incomprehensible to her. ]

How it was for the 'greater good' - that just by sacrificing them, it'd stop.

[ the anger's back again. low. seething, as opposed to the trial itself. ]

That kind of thinking makes me sick.

Because it places a value on people's lives? And how subjective that is?

[ She doesn't have her guitar with her right now... no melody for your fury. ]

I lost my home, my family, everything to someone who thought the exact same way.

[ his hand tightens on the bottle he's holding, enough that the plastic crinkles. ] Yeah. It's despicable.

[ She reaches her hand out to gently put it on top of Strohl's, the one that is currently punishing the bottle because that sort of energy can't be redirected otherwise. ]

Sorry, that it happened to you... for that reason.

...Me too. [ he murmurs, but - the fury passes, with the hand that touches his gently, and he loosens his grip, reflexive. ]

I swore I'd not let it happen to anyone else - now, here we are.

I know you really hate it, but that's still a really high bar to set for yourself. I hope you're not blaming yourself for what happened.

[ Dealing with the sacrificial mindset usually involves cults, who already have strong mental defenses due to hivemind-esque culture. ]
