I mean, I do find it almost laughable that you didn't like me acting too calm about death and then you do this!
[ a tap of their finger. ]
But--and make no mistake, I'm not happy about it--I don't think condemning you would have any point. You're not a child who needs to be told she did something wrong.
... I hope you won't be disappointed that I've never felt particularly enlightened leaving these meetings of ours.

-- Also, how did you know? About Thursday?
no subject

[ A bit dryly. Rather, she hopes he doesn't? ]
But I'm not planning on doing it again. I got one answer.

no subject
[ also said so, so serenely. ]
I really don't know much more than what everyone has been saying, so you'll be sorely disappointed if you hope to walk out of here enlightened.

Not so far as anyone's said.

no subject
How likely are you to kill again?
no subject
And I doubt that will come up. I hate... killing. There's also no real benefit to it.
no subject
well. ]
... I'm very glad to hear that, but congratulations, you're going to hate everything as much as I do.
