[She switches to video too, her expression clearly relieved. Mostly at the fact that he's not angry.]
I told Hilbert what he said to Jedao was cruel and probably super hypocritical. But also...
[Another pause, another flounder through the deep water of trying to sort out her thoughts on things.]
...When I was-- I still do it sometimes, actually, but... When I was little and upset but I couldn't be upset in a way that fixed anything, I would just try to mess up as much shit as I could in any relationship I could reach with my fat baby hands. I kind of think that's part of what Hilbert was doing, now that I've had a chance to consider it, and stuff. And also-- It feels like people are picking sides in this, like really picking sides, which is stupid. Jedao panicked and did his best. But if he waited, Eiffel could probably have been helped without the fatality. He's definitely, definitely right to want Eiffel back to being his own whole free self and all, but he also wasn't like, right to dive in by himself when we're on a boat full of super-people. I don't think it's one or the other. I think everyone screwed up, including Hilbert. I think we're really lucky it happened here. Eiffel definitely is.
Not to mention, that's another thing, people who are like 'Jedao is right!' Or 'Hilbert is right!' are also missing the point that it's not about them being right or wrong either. What Jedao did was for Eiffel but probably it was also for Jedao. Because he decided on the dangers being worth it and acted without backup. What Hilbert said was for Eiffel, but it was also definitely for Hilbert, because he didn't even have a chance to try and help.
