[Well, maybe not THAT baffling. She probably didn’t want them having second thoughts. Still, though...it’s strange.]

Of course I do. I hardly intend to back down now. I simply have my own actions to call into question now...even if it was another iteration of me.

That said, your support is appreciated. The last thing I could hope for is causing some sort of discontent within the group after all of that.
