[ she would bite back with how it wasn't as if he wasn't entirely unwilling, but that sometimes there are reasons why people do or don't do things. if she had been available, he would have allowed her. he would have listened to her. ...but they were in the middle of a murder investigation and she isn't stupid enough to think that alone is an excusable reason.
there's a temptation to comment how one thing is always missed in the favor of the other. how it was ignored all that he did in favor for all that he didn't, but jeanne doesn't ignore how it was a collective failure—one that izumo had no hand in—so she holds her tongue. ]
Don't tell me how I should live my life. I'll decide on that for my own.
[ however miserable and ugly it is. ]
What we should be doing is thinking of better ways to handle what happened. How not to waste time. What to do about the person who got away.
[ Jeanne is an observer, and so she knows. She remembers Knoa's questions in the beginning. She knows his behavior shifted to something else. It was not ignored by her, but that is also what made his ending behavior so much more flagrant. ]
If that is how you must be, then that is as sincere as your feelings will be.
[ She knows Izumo is hurting and grieving, but Jeanne does not put blinders on for anyone. Izumo did not want gentleness, so she will not receive it. ]
Do you really think others aren't thinking the same thing? If that is what you think what we must do, do you have an idea of who it must be?
[ she doesn't mind the lack of gentle hands. so few people have succeeded in her accepting such tenderness anyway. ]
I suspect there are those who are thinking about those things and I also suspect that there are those who feel defeatist about what happened. [ it seems so logical, she's not blind to it. ] That's how people are, right?
[ jeanne is trying to put her on the spot and that's fine. what good are her words anyway? apparently given her stance, it has made her discreditable. ]
If I knew who it was without a doubt, I would have confronted them already about it but there's no way that I do. If I were to implicate anyone of a crime then it would be the twins. They were helpful but nothing says that a murderer cannot help in their own crime to seem innocent.
[ Jeanne also figures Izumo wouldn't want comfort from the person who yeeted Kano out into space. She tries not to do too much in poor taste. She's trying.
Jeanne isn't putting Izumo in any spot because this is where Izumo steered the conversation? Her questions were calm, not accusatory. An if, then type of tone. She is trying to take and consider what Izumo says because Jeanne is Ruler and moves to be fair in all ways. ]
People doubt and they falter, yes, but that isn't all they do.
[ People rise and steady, too. What they're all motivated by is all different, but that's what makes them who they are.
She nods. ]
I'll take that into consideration. [ She is sincere, and she doesn't disagree. ] As much as I hope the blonde hair is decisive, that it wasn't exact makes me wonder if we aren't focusing too much on it.
