I haven't asked to be trusted. I feel I've been almost inadvisably open about the fact that I will lie and kill to protect those I care for. But I am young, and a woman, and there are those who seem to find it easy to dismiss ruthlessness as mere posturing, or outbursts of emotion. You are a bit of a fool if you thought that between Mollymauk and I, he was the cold one.
[she says this without much malice.]
Rather, I agree with your perspective. I have never begrudged you for protecting your own. I'm sure others have said ridiculous things implying otherwise. I believe Rin misunderstood me on this point, badly, and I regret that it has led to conflict. It is natural that we will protect those dearest to us. Unfortunate, but natural. And once the trial is over, what's done is done.
Incidentally, it was confirmed today that Sylvain was the one who killed Diluc. I'm sure this did not escape your notice, and perhaps you already knew, but in case other matters had captured your attention. I don't know who killed Sylvain and I'm not intent on finding out.
I'm not sure I believe you about the locket, but it is not worth pressing further. There is no reason we cannot be cooperative when it comes to, as you say, the heart of this situation. These trials are nothing more than a brutal diversion.
