"It is logical, yes, but there are still emotions tied up in there." She can remember every emotional response that came as she lost Hector. The anger, the loss, the decision to destroy the person that had killed him. She hasn't, but...she wants to. Even still. It's something she can't...do anything about. Serac made promises he couldn't keep and her feelings on that...are much more than she can put into words.

She listens as he speaks, taking in his words, but also his expressions, studying him very carefully. Even the way he speaks about him is emotional, so she knows that it's not easy to give up someone you care about for something else. It's like giving up on finding her daughter (though not entirely giving up) to focus on something. Setting it aside. Knowing there's still too much to do, too much to figure out. Her daughter was safe, so she could wait. But it didn't make the decision easier.

"The point is that none of us are free from emotions. It's not a bad thing, of course. And we cannot discount that occasionally our emotions can make us stronger and weaker at the same time." A beat. "Even our pasts hold emotions we can't really get rid of. The way we feel about things we've done. No one is free from emotions. Even beings like us."
