That's it? [There's a wariness and a little bit of hope, in those two words.] I'm—I'm not a good person, Cassian.

You reacted worse than you'd have liked to situations you had never been prepared for, and didn't instigate.

Then learned from them, decided to put an end to it, and chose to sacrifice your love and your own life to save others.

It's too low a bar to surpass me, but I still wouldn't put you outside the top quadrant on the morality chart of all the beings I've met.

The pranks were my idea—that was how they started out, anyway. I wanted revenge, but they didn't—I didn't want them dead. And I feel bad about that, I do, but somehow it's not as bad as it should be.

[She shakes her head.] And I don't think that's normal. I'm scared of what it might mean.

The one thing I've never seen on dozens of planets, hundreds of species, and two dimensions I'm aware of: is "normal".

I'm not making light of how you feel. Just… don't think you need to compare yourself to something that doesn't exist.

What were the pranks meant to be and how did they go wrong?

Just—revenge pranks, y'know? I hocked up a globber in someone's hangover cure, but I swapped it out with drain cleaner by accident. And these two guys—they spread a rumor about me, so we decided to knock them unconscious and plant a suicide note.

[She shakes her head.] I didn't want them dead, just—wanted something to laugh about. [Who's laughing now?]

That's—weirdly comforting. Um. [A huff.] I mean, I guess you're right, how's anyone supposed to feel after becoming an accomplice to murder?
