[It is the same sentiment; personally, he thinks that every moment she's left alive is unnecessary cruelty.
He can recognize that Shouxue is seeking guidance, whether or not she realizes it. And in his own opinion, her fury is valid and they deserve every ounce of anger she might want to unleash on them. But that encouragement probably isn't the responsible thing, especially when he knows Shouxue has such trauma over being out of control.
So, gently--]
...I think some of them already know. [That they fucked up, that this partially happened because they were too emotional, too unorganized. Most, he suspects, just blame Bradley for throwing them off, but that's... a whole separate thing.] And I doubt they'll be checking their messages tonight or tomorrow. So, if you want to... I'd take these days to compose your thoughts, and then send them out when you're sure they'll notice.
[Which would give her time to cool down, and perhaps even answer the question of Rosamund's fate.]
[ she sighs, and her hands crumple her skirt into balls. ]
Emotions are high. [ hers included. ] They make me so tired, Luke. I don't envy them or want to be in their positions, but I don't know how much I can stand watching them not even meet one basic guideline.
[ she lowers her expectations every time. she knows they didn't know for sure that bradley killed in self-defense, but she's not rational right now. and even if she were rational, she still wouldn't be happy with them. ]
[Gently, he reaches out, resting his hands over hers. If she lets him, he'll coax her fingers to uncurl so he can hold them, but he doesn't force her.]
I know. It's frustrating--especially knowing we can't help from over here. [Nobody's going to be checking their messages during trial.] I promise we'll remind them before the next trial. If they don't go into it with clearer heads next time, then they definitely deserve anything you have to say to them, no matter how angry you are when you say it.
