[help well she's not entirely wrong, self-sacrificiality can absolutely go too far.]
Because if I can do something to help someone, I have to try. [There's a spark of indignation here, but also a quick quelling of it. She's still too raw from the trip and the sudden appearance in the graveyard to deny how badly it stings to leave someone.] It would hurt to lose anyone. My life wasn't any more valuable than the others, and the same goes the other way too. If someone has to die no matter what, then we're all on even footing there.
[People can and would miss her, and she them. Did that mean losing Roxana was easier? Siffrin? Hulkenberg? She can't say it was.
But Jonas is easier to talk about. Easing off her own bruises to asses the damage done on others.]
He's too used to being the shoulder to lean on, I think. It's very hard for him to speak up for his own well-being, even if he tells other people to do so. [Rosamund leans forward, resting her chin in her hands.] ...But I'm glad he has someone he can speak about higher minded things with. I think he needs to have somewhere to work that out, on top of a few more mundane issues.
Is there... [she wets her lips, thinking.] Sorry. Is there somewhere I can go that I won't be in anyone's way? Just until these effects pass over. I want to make sure She's gone. Permanently.
It's not about whether someone's life is worth more than the other. It's about what people will choose. It's about who people will choose. I will choose to keep whom I like and care about more, and I won't pretend otherwise.
[ that's not something she'll be hypocritical about. people can talk about fairness and equality all they want, but she has no illusions about those concepts when it comes to how she operates. ]
I think there are a couple people like that for him. It's not like that's discussion that can easily be done in text messages.
You can hide in one of the rooms in a hotel or suite.
