urtitan: (Fretful)

[Oh dear. If what he said before hit too close to home, this is entirely too much. "If you're not responsible for the pain"... what if they are, though?

Frieda's eyes dart towards Sunny in between them - Sunny, who seems so burdened and saddened, and whom she told far too much about her world, its desperate situation, and part of her role in it only a short while ago -, only to see him look about as guilt-stricken as she feels.

Back home, she'd have found a justification. What does it matter if a few (hundred, thousand, million) people had to die or suffer for the greater good? But now, with her ancestor's will no longer steering her mind, she feels far to terrible for the deeds committed even in the name of atonement.

Regardless, she needs to argue - if not for her sake, then for Sunny's. Whatever he's done, she's sure that it can't be so terrible that he doesn't deserve the oblivion of forgetfulness... and the same likely goes for Nagito, who's so polite and friendly despite his rather radical stance. (Then again, what does she know? For all intents and purposes, her sins don't show on her face either.)]


...

If it's a test of responsibility, we're bound to find out. Perhaps those who hold on to the pain they caused will be rewarded. However, the Ferryman did say that we'll have to face any memory we want to give up, and we don't quite know what that entails yet.

[While she isn't outright squirming, her posture is tense, and concern for both boys is written on her face. She can't press them for what it is that they feel so responsible for - that's what all three of them are guarding, much as she gave Sunny some insight -, but she can't help but feel like sooner or later those matters will all be brought to light, whether they want it or not.]
