[She stomps her foot down, brow furrowed. No. You don't get to just say that after she knows what you did. She wants you to do good. Be good. But you weren't. You weren't and you have to accept that. War happens, but it's the people who have flawed reasons that make it worse. She can't articulate THAT feeling as well as she wants, but she'll try her damnedest.]

Listen, Mr. Loki, because this is... this is really important to me.

It doesn't matter if war happens sometimes, because you hurt people. You hurt lots of people. You weren't fighting for anything when you hurt those people. You weren't anything like a hero, or a good guy, and nothing got fixed by fighting, and nothing but awful, awful hurt and pain happened because you did those things.

[She looks down, clutching the flower's stem.]

You hurt people who were like me and Ikki, and like all the people I care about. You hurt them because you wanted them to do what you told them, and if I were there you would have hurt me, too, and that's all wrong. You were a bad guy. You did bad things, and you can't ever take that back for all those people you hurt.

[She's looking down, shaking, cheeks flushed.]

Just because you're unhappy with something doesn't mean you have to make everyone else unhappy.

But I wanna give you a chance, because even though you're a bad guy, it doesn't mean you're the baddest, and it doesn't mean you can't be good... You're not a monster like the kind I'm scared of in my closet when I'm sleeping. Evil people don't cry or give people flowers. So you gotta' make yourself better and learn from the things you did wrong, 'cuz 'til you do... you won't ever, ever be happy.

I wanna believe in you, Mr. Loki. Even if you might trick or lie sometimes, I really want to.


Okay?
