"That can't be true. Everyone does bad things from time to time, and it doesn't make them bad."

"You wouldn't kill your parents."
"I would, if I were in his shoes. If my parents were the ultimate hindrance to my relationship with the one I love." Runa was serious with her words. She might not use the roundabout way that Ansgar used, and she might also hesitate before executing it, but she would still kill them if she needed to.
