She knows that what Anna is saying isn't true, after all. She's in perfect control right now. And - as she is right now - she can rival the Pthumerians, she just knows it. She's been given this power for a reason, and it's to keep everyone safe. If she's the one who's been given this much power, she has to stretch it for all it's worth-- because if she doesn't do it, who will?
Who will stand up against those beings? ]
Come home, and then do what? [ Her tone isn't quite as biting, but she doesn't seem to believe a word of what the other is saying here. ] Go through the same thing over and over again? Watch you get hurt? How come you can't see this is better than that?
[ Because sometimes--
Sometimes you're just tired of hurting. ]
Why can't you see this the way Ruby can? She's understood me! Even before we went here-- all of these months, she got why it was so hard, why this had to happen! [ (Since, you know, that's kind of what happens when you're spiralling into corruption at the exact same rate together, so neither of you can pull the other out of it.) ] She gets what I'm trying to do for everyone's sake!
