[Called out so early....... And that DOES stun her into a brief silence. She wasn't even thinking of it as playing a "nice girl" act, but now that he mentions it, and especially with context of what she's been responsible for before this...]
I apologize, I don't mean to mislead you. I may be among the most ruthless on our side, but I still don't think it would do any good to force you into accepting such a drastic change in your situation right away. You haven't just moved to a different country, you've been dropped into a different world and are expected to fight in a cosmic war. It sounds really unreasonable when you say it out loud, doesn't it? So you should be given time and space if you need it, as long as you do keep in mind that all this isn't a bad dream and won't go away.
[There's only so much she can sugarcoat. She wouldn't be bothering with keeping up her vestiges of 'humanity' at all, if it wasn't for people like this boy and Misa. Those on the same side benefit far more from having a sympathetic and kind ally, though she's lost all right to such pretenses when it comes to the Pleroma now.]
