You did the right thing. Killing someone out of hatred has only ever made me feel angrier. [she's not anti-revenge by...a long shot! but it hasn't ever made her feel better.] Maybe it is better to kill to do Aerith the honor of ensuring that the work she put in to stop him wasn't in vain.
[ yuffie is definitely not anti-revenge either..... but this does not feel good, no. the murder. the hug feels good. she's not letting go ]
Yeah... she did work hard. [ fondly. that aerith. outsmarted lucas ] And... it's what Lucas would have wanted. Right before he died, he looked.... grateful.
[ and she has a very strong will to live, even part of her feels like it's died already. but she respects laudna all the more for not sugarcoating things, even if it does upset her. she doesn't like to be coddled ]
You know, when Aventurine died? That Friday, I asked Boothill if he had something to do with it. He looked.... so hurt, that I felt really bad. I got upset. [ this was before they even knew about monster possession, so you know ] Then he hugged me and held me close and promised he wouldn't die.
That was the monster, right? Manipulating me so I wouldn't accuse him.
It may have been. [she's honestly so used to being manipulated that it's hard for her to tell sometimes.] Or perhaps he didn't remember. Camille - when I accused her about the bruise, she seemed not to remember how she got it. She never said it was from Wednesday, only that it had to be from Wednesday.
[it does sound manipulative, though. but we didn't all know, yet, that the killer could be anyone.]
[ yuffie's hold on laudna tightens a little -- just subconsciously. she'd missed that part (for some reason, very mysterious), but it makes her a little sick, to think about it ]
That sounds like hell -- to be a complete prisoner to your own body.
[ and she knows laudna understands that feeling. to an extent ]

She was dead before she came here. Found her, couldn't do anything about it. Swore to myself that I'd protect her this time, but....
[ lol ]
Besides, it wasn't really Lucas who killed her.

[she didn't know aerith was dead. but it would have been nice for a girl like that to have a second chance.]
No. I'm sure whatever cruel thing did this, it wasn't really him. It wasn't any of them.

[ lucas's grateful look as she killed him is still causing her psychic damage. anyway she is just gonna. hug laudna ]

I suppose a part of all of them must feel that way.
no subject
I would, if it were me, and there was a monster controlling me.

The drive to live can be quite a powerful thing. Even when a monster is controlling you.
