"I do not deny that I am guilty. I was wrong to kill Erica. I admit that and accept it. Why can you not admit that it was wrong, if only in some way, to free Nu?" Grace asked.

Riou sees Asha seem to light up and then her ears depress. Maybe I should try Finisher Sign? If it could... No, such a powerful spell is far too much for this task and might weaken me far more than my body could take, right now.
He sits down next to Asha. "I guess it didn't work. I'm sorry."

"Because it wasn't wrong. And, as I said before, you only helped those who did terrible things to Nu, in the first place. And you did even more terrible things to her. All I did was say a name to her, you had to imprison her by force. Compared to your actions, I am a saint." Athena said to Grace, calmly. "But, I guess it makes it easier for you to deny your own wrong doing when it doesn't suit you and you can't look that person in the eyes. Or perhaps you think your actions are justified as Nu was 'evil'? What a crock. You're just as evil as her. More so, even. Don't forget, Grace, I could see your true self as an Angel. What do you think I saw when I looked at you?"

<color=brown>"Not much. We helped Schrodinger do additional maintenance on the fusion reactor we use to make it more stable than last time it overheated. We're about to eat. Want to join us?" Sara reached into the ethereal plane and grabbed some various pasta dishes for each of the girls. She passed them out one by one.
Sara had pesto covered linguini.
Winona had mac n' cheese.
EMily had chicken alfredo on linguini.
Gwen had meat sauce on pasta shells.

Grace looked Athena dead in the eye, throwing down her staff as she got right in her face. "Tell me. Enlighten me." she said, almost like a dare.
So who's to blame? I mean either I blame myself for everything Conall did, because according to my own logic I'm responsible, none of that wouldn't have happened if I'd never given birth to him...
Or do I suck it up and apologize to Athena, who is probably the 3rd or 4th person on my 'Most Hated' list.
Gah...I don't know what to do!
Four was too wrapped up in her inner turmoil over what Athena had said to pay any more attention to what was going on between the others. She started rubbing her temples as she started to give herself a headache by obsessing over the question.

"I-It's fine. You tried. It does help a little to know that you care enough to try, at least." Asha said, looking up and giving Riou a tiny smile.

"Sorry girls. I already ate. Austin cooked up some Japanese Curry... Actually I wonder where he went. He was with that Alison girl and now..." Winter thought aloud.
"But of course." Winter smiled. "Must be nice having your food cooked by Schrodinger huh?"
"Oh right Alison. Some girl that came with that other person Darwin was his name? I can't remember."
"Oh right Alison. Some girl that came with that other person Darwin was his name? I can't remember."
"It's very simple, Grace. You're very obsessive. You don't actually care about right and wrong, you just pretend to. When push comes to shove, you will do anything to accomplish your own ends. Like imprisoning a person within an illusion within their own mind. And you quite good at manipulating people, aren't you? Just like you're manipulating Erica, right now." Athena responds. "That seems like a good start, don't you think?"
Well...I could just not blame myself and not apologize to Athena...but that would just make me a giant fucking hypocrite.
Four let out an audible groan as she came to a conclusion of thought. I can't blame myself for everything Conall's done. Not after everything I've promised Tanner.
Four stopped rubbing her temples and took a moment to compose herself. She walked out from behind Erica and said, "Athena...I'm sorry. I was the one who told Erica that you killed her. That explanation she gave you? That was pretty much all mine. But after what you said today, well let's just say that I can't keep blaming you for what happened without being a hypocrite. So I'll say it again, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hating you and blaming you for things that you didn't intend to happen, and that truly cannot be considered your fault." Then she just looked Athena right in the eyes and waited for her response.

"It's fine. There's still a way you can work to undo it, right? Just focus on that instead." Asha suggested to Riou.

Erica was rather shocked at what Athena had said. What did she mean? Was she lying? Surely not? Athena may be a lot of thing, but she was never a liar.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" She asked rather angrily. The winds around Erica grew more vicious.

"...And what about you? Do you care about what other people think? Do you care whether you actions cause harm? No. Nu, the mindless animal that she was, caused a great deal of pain and harm, but you do not care. It was your goal to free her and you succeeded, right? You did what you wanted to do. You did what you know was right, because you can't be wrong, right? You simply cannot be wrong. You know the truth, and you will pursue it, no matter what happens to anyone else, right?" Grace asked somewhat aggressively.
