[ She'll give him the moment, and she knows he took it because he needed to get away from people...so the moment is considerably long. In that moment, she mulls her decisions over in her head. What would Yona have said, here? This was all so unnecessary, so needless in the end. A murder didn't need to occur this week, and yet, here we are. She would have been deeply disappointed, Lili is sure...
...Oh, Yona. They are both sinners in the end. The sheltered, innocent General's daughter is dead, and she feels like despite everything, despite how hollow she feels, perhaps a phoenix has still risen from its corpse regardless. It happened with Yona – she had become so strong, so caring and kind despite the tragedy that befell her. The betrayal, which probably hurt her so much more than anything here could have hurt Lili.
Knowing that, she makes her choice and speaks up after a long silence. ]
You told me you could hurt people who hurt me, but you pulled the trigger on my dear friend, Junior.
[ And there is truly only so much sympathy she can give, now. If Junior was smart enough to know how to operate a gun, if he's this stressed and torn up over getting caught, he should have been aware of the gravity of his choices. What was it that Homura said about Shiv, Ayaka and Richard? If he couldn't live with this choice, he shouldn't have made it to begin with. ]
But I'm in no position to tell you, or anyone really, what's right or wrong. I don't know what those words mean anymore.
[ But these words, the ones she's speaking now, are only for Junior to hear. ]
You're aware of the situation I came home from. There is plenty of crime and people who will quite possibly try to manipulate you in the way others have here. [ A beat. ] But...there is a girl who is working to purge the kingdom of its impurities. It's an endeavor greater than me and I can only hope to do my part in helping her in her quest.
Would you still like to come home with me, Junior? And if you do...would you hurt her, if someone told you to?
