...Maybe not a stance I agree with. I think love is... important. Essential. But we should recognize the love other people have. We can't see others as monsters aiming to hurt our loved ones. We have to know that... everyone has love.
I don’t think those who are angry with me or cruel toward me [ She says despite denying it happened earlier. ] see me as a monster. I think they are being given impossible choices. To stand by and do nothing is a difficult choice to make. Even the princess couldn’t do it—we were trying to find a way for me to return, but ran out of time.
What other choice did she and I have? It’s difficult, being helpless.
[ Oh it’s awkward. Hands down, Adora is in the worst state she’s ever seen her. She’s exhausted, but unable to sleep for longer than a few minutes at a time. There are bags under her eyes and she’s sore as heck and she’s lost a lot of weight over the past few weeks.
She tries to pretend she’s ok for her mom tho. She just can’t meet her eyes because… Adora ran away. She didn’t even try to tell Leslie. ]
This was the exact thing I never wanted you to experience... the thing they always threatened...
[No, this. This isn't right either. This is just making Adora worry over her instead of herself. She pulls back to look over Adora's injuries, cupping Adora's cheeks.]

But that might leave one parent left to check on Adora and its Leslie. She's trying to get into her daughter's room.]

But ultimately she just kind of loves to just. Lie down next to Adora. Not saying much, just...
She wants to hold her baby.]

[ She’s real dinged up. The healers will probably be in later in the day. ]

It's not your fault they can be persuasive.
