[She knows it; her lips twitch, there's the very tiny incline of the head towards his point. It's gotten so much harder to lie to him.]
Look, you had like half the parenting experience, and also half the size. You have excuses. I mean, I also have excuses, I just have even more years of experience with employers giving me shit for them.
[How much of those excuses are actually MacGyvered mental health days is an exercise for the reader.]
And that's different from the way things are here. My presence at home clearly overall increases the likelihood that the people around me will survive. Here, by existing I decrease the likelihood. And if we can't send people to the hotel, then ending existences is the only way to increase the likelihood that specific other people will survive. That's what makes me entirely different from Ene. I haven't done anything with so much room for error. Even the craziest things I did for Ronove, we were all way out of the blast radius. If something has to happen to me, it'll be decisive.
