I don't think so, either. I think she would be fairly ruthless for the sake of her wish, and perhaps for the sake of other things. And she is smart, so she is dangerous.
[She's not close to Endorsi, but she does know what she's here to do, and she feels like it gave her a little insight.]
As for Misa - I don't think she wanted to be stopped. She's prepared to die for what she's after. I just think she wanted - [Bleh. Speculating about people's feelings sucks. But.] - I think she wanted to know there was someone who wouldn't turn against her even if she did this. But there isn't. [So. That's a little ugly and heartbreaking.] She isn't one of the people I would look the other way for.
Guess I just hoped she'd make a different choice, is all. She-- she could've. She can.
[yes. well. he knows a good bit of Endorsi. so maybe it's a false hope.]
You aren't turning against her. Turning against her would be slitting her throat on a Tuesday, or waiting up for her on the night she planned. You aren't going along with it, but you aren't shoving a knife in her back either. Something to be said for that. Think we're getting to where we can't look the other way now.
I'm not such a good person as that. If it was you, I wouldn't look the other way either. I'd insist you let me help you get away clean. If it was you, if it was Vira, if it was Sheila. . .
[She could name more, but she trails off, a little embarrassed.]
Obviously the same, but I think you'd also trust we had good enough reason to do it. I think that's the difference. It's not a good person debate, it's what you can live with.
I. . . don't know whether I'd care if the reason was good, but I would trust that none of you would ask if it wasn't important.
[So, agreed. That's the crux of it - Misa wanted her reassurance, without caring what it cost her. What pain it could potentially cause her. And it has caused her pain.]
I can't call it cruelty. That would require intention. She's. . . nothing more than a broken little girl. [This feels like a really harsh way to put it.] She has nothing and no one and has decided to cling to the only form of love she knows by whatever drastic means she can.
I. . . refuse to be viewed as capable of being injured by someone so pathetic. [Unless, of course, that description also describes her exactly.]

She was cruel to put this at your feet. It's a cruel thing to ask anyone.

I'd be less nice about it if I could.

Fair enough. [She wants to get mad at him for bopping her face like a cat, but she cannot.] I never know what to say when you say that sort of thing.
