I figured... it might be like this. Th-That... you two kept missing each other's points, and ended up having different... different conversations. That... the nuance you didn't and couldn't know a-about, about his past... that it tripped you up. That you.... you wouldn't understand, h-how big it is that he actually chose to tell you his name, wouldn't... wouldn't get how rare it is for him to be t-totally unarmed. How scared that makes him.
[Now, though. She looks at him and her voice cracks.]
B-But... h-how could you turn a-around days later a-and tell me my father was awful for, for the things he did when you... Ashe, you left him defenseless and tied up all a-alone when you were angry with him and, and he didn't know if you'd come back. What sort of state do you think he was worked into, to tear himself free of your... your web?
