It's all, "oh, but you don't understand how much he's helped me when nobody else likes us, you don't get it, he does soooo much," but someone like that-- someone who actually gives a damn isn't going to just turn around and shank you once you dare to do something.
I don't care if Anders thinks he couldn't be helped. There wasn't any effort to help him.
...we had someone who was trying to change our situation, despite even her own people not always agreeing. It was easier to just keep going as we were, right? Why go against it? But she really...
She wanted us to be free. And she died for that, thanks to somebody she'd trusted to help her.
[ yeah, that's what they thought. you don't become so indignant without knowing what it's like, or having a similar experience to reference. ]
... that sounds noble of her to keep fighting for you. Dying for a cause and everything, even at the hands of someone she trusted. Did she know she would betrayed, you think? Any hint at all.
I can't decide if it's better or worse if she possibly knew he'd betray her like that. [ because one is unexpected, but the other means she gave up her own safety anyway for a goal she believed in that someone ultimately snuffed out. ]
Why does it keep getting worse? That wasn't a challenge. Then... did they ever support her goals at all? Or was this all a part of a long plan of theirs?
[A LOT. they're a lot. but i do absolutely respect the power move of going "hey sup playerbase you know your amnesiac player pov character? yeah? this was their fault."]
Of course not, because that would be far too easy. [ i also respect that, hilarious. ] There has to be something that would jar their memory. Any little thing. It just takes one piece to unlock everything.
Mm... if those memories are painful enough to irrevocably change who they are as a person, maybe. But it doesn't give you the answers you're looking for, and it doesn't say that something like that won't happen again.

... does it feel familiar to you at all? Having a person you trusted only for them to turn around and screw you over at a moment's notice.

Theresa could really look right through a person. If there were any hints, maybe she did know.

[ wait a minute. ]
Wait, is this that leader you told me about? That took out your best option.

No wonder you're angry with him.

The one who backstabbed her, they were supposed to be supporting her goals. But our Regent now, who was in on it...? That's her brother.

The Regent's still totally worth killing, he's got it coming, but the Doctor... there's nothing satisfying about it if they don't even remember.

[ugh. she rubs at her face.]
The ones who've worked closer with them... they say not remembering their old reasons was better for them. I don't know if I buy it.
