Perhaps she has already explained, but that isn't the case. She was forced into her position by the creature that was the actual source of our problems, and ultimately helped us destroy it. As you can see, none of us bear any distrust or ill will towards her. I consider her a friend.
Yeah. She said something had taken her brother. Ivan had her life taken essentially. Guess being a host isn't all it's cracked up to be.
[RIP.]
Why? Just curious. She was ready to throw you guys into the fire, but you forgave her? Because she realized she could help you and win, or just because she helped you?
She said... what? Her brother was about to die, I think. A voice asked her if she wanted to save him, so she said yeah. It was--a half-flesh computer? That's about all she said.
You said Royce was upfront about whatever ill intentions he had for you. If something promised Lup it'd save her brother, I assumed she was probably in the same boat? At least at first. Because of what was promised.
No. [she's intent on lying about this one or at least omitting a little bit; she's relieved Lup didn't share too much.] I suppose she still feels guilt for her part in it at all, for maintaining the ruse as long as she did...but she never did anything to harm us and had little choice.
I suppose if she had intended to throw us in the fire, I still may have forgiven her for it. I forgave others. I am no stranger to finding yourself too far down a path before the revelation that it was the wrong one. But Lup was...honest with me about the danger we were in well before she ought to have been for her own safety.
I believe if she didn't care about her brother's life enough to risk being dragged into something very ugly, she wouldn't be here. Nor would any of us.
Oh? [she raises an eyebrow.] You are quick to come to their defense for someone who on Saturday said, without a trace of irony, that you are not here to make friends.

And you believe she will be that way still even here? Even when things have changed. With her playing instead.

Fair enough.

Perhaps there are some people from the school who came here to make friends and have a fun time.

You jealous? [He is poking her for fun.] A round of murder is still a round of murder.
Sounded like they didn't have a lot of control either. Maybe happy funtimes and friendship is what they tried to make out of it.

Nah, don't get the wrong idea. I'm just telling you what they'd probably tell you, or maybe someone else here who had some empathy.
