... This went about as well as I could ask for it to, really. In a lot of ways. Our team's plan for a frame, and.. well. Everything last night, too. I managed to wake up to her, even though I was losing it. That's what I was the most afraid of.
...Tomorrow'll be a nightmare, but... then, it'll be over.
[she considers the barstool for a second, before she takes a seat.]
It will be over, yes. For a brief period of time. [then someone else will die, and he will find new reasons to be upset about it. or that's what she thinks, anyway.] Would you have preferred if she had gotten away with it?
No. She'd not be able to take that. [ etc ] If you think that I'm bad, Hulkenberg's nigh a thousand times worse. I don't mind lying: in fact, I'm pretty damn good at it, contrary to apparent popular belief. If I had survived, I took that weapon because I knew it'd be less likely to be tied to me. Put the jewels on my horn because I knew no one would check. I'm not an idiot.
[ like. every person who was like "strohl wouldn't use his sword because it wasn't honourable" bitch what? HE LIKES LIVING. ]
But the guilt would have killed her, if she hadn't been found out. It's better this way, for the both of us.
[HULKENBERG... she rolls her eyes, like. girl. learn to be more of a terrible person.]
You're both ridiculous, you know that? If it was such a burden for her to bear, then she should have let you kill her. The result would've been nearly the same.
