And who the heck has lived a perfect life without fault? That's an impossible standard.
[Even Ariadne, the multiverse's sunniest optimist knows that.]
Innocent hardly means perfect. And accusations hardly mean the truth. You need to stop seeing things in absolutes. Because, no, that's not good enough, Anakin. The killing needs to stop. This isn't a war! And not everyone comes back.
[There's the slightest twinge of anger and regret beneath the surface of that one. She's lost people. It never gets easier.]
I don't care what you are or what you become back home. No, that's not true. Of course I care.
[Empathy is kind of built into her nature.]
But you're living here. And maybe for the rest of your life. So unless you just want to join the Sith and move in with Maul, you need to shape up! Actions have consequences and, right now, your actions are making you look like a real butthead!
