I want to. I think how much I actually do is always going to depend on the day. I forgive her enough to want to save her, but I don't know when I'm going to be able to go through with it.
[She understands, though. She feels that way about people who've hurt Ben, or Cassel. An imperturbable edifice of hostility, long after they'd forgiven their transgressors.]
But I feel better knowing you won't.
[Knowing someone cares that way, will carry the weight of the grudge she earned with years of struggling when it's too heavy for her to hold onto it. She can forgive and not forgive at the same time.]
