Rupert insisted that he was working alone.

[obviously! that had been!! a lie!!!!]

So it's hard to take what Byleth says at face value, too.

[which. . . kind of stings, but she isn't bringing that part of things up. she has to focus on the facts, not on how those facts make her feel]

[katzepaw]

Yes.

[It's hard to know what to think about what any of them say.]

Byleth especially, I feel that she is protecting someone else now.

[supercatty]

Of course she is.

[just like Rupert was. not that. . . Catra knows who]

It's. . . probably someone who matches that other set of footprints. But even that doesn't help us.

[ear flick]

Because if we find them, then what are we supposed to do?

[katzepaw]

I know. Seems as though it could only be a few, but maybe it doesn't change anything.

[. . .]

Nonetheless, I'm sorry about him. About Crow. And I'm sorry for my behavior, too.

[supercatty]

[she can't help the way her ears flatten, her tail lashing behind her]

[. . .]

Forget it. I would've done the same thing for Adora.

[without hesitation or guilt]

[katzepaw]

Mm.

[He gets that, and nods a little.]

Well, it wasn't for him. It was for me. But thank you all the same.

[supercatty]

[. . . hah]

Yeah. I guess it wouldn't really be for Adora, either.

[. . . tail lash]

It's hard not to be a little mad, but it's not like I-- don't get it.

[Crow was her friend, and she's glad they found who killed him, but she hates the feeling that people didn't care as much about his death as they did Molly's]

[katzepaw]

You can be a little mad. I've tried to understand the reasons everyone has had who has killed, but I was angrier at Caiman than I was at Rupert. It's different, when you care for someone.

[supercatty]

. . .

[a tiny little shrug]

Nothing about this place is. . . clear cut, or black and white, or whatever. So.

[yeah. she gets it]
