There's a lot going on here. At least fifteen different coping methods are being thrown around here. It's a good thing that Ange has been through so much, because it means that it's a little easier to not get too overwhelmed to do or say anything in a situation like this, when Zib clearly needs help.
She's concerned about that blood, but figures that it's probably better to take care of that in a moment, after she's addressed everything else here. And the concerns about the obvious body horror going on in what he's saying are momentarily shoved aside as well, to be dealt with at some even later point.
If not just because it feels more important to address the emotional issue here first, in this place where it's exactly those issues that can lead to people being transformed into beasts. ]
That it could be a lot worse doesn't suddenly make it good.
[ After all, sure. Ange knows it could be worse through experience. She's pretty sure that if she went through Zib's physical changes, she wouldn't just have been ignored, but probably actively sold to be dissected by her aunt.
But just because she knows of the existence of worse scenarios doesn't make this one okay to her in the slightest. ]
If you want to get mad, then be mad at him! Don't just smile here, or try to justify anything he's done to yourself. If you want to yell at him, then we'll go find another portal, and you can tell him whatever you want about the way he treats you!
[ It ought to at least be healthier than letting it all fester like this, she thinks. ]
