Mm. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. Emotions aren't clean cut, and I think you can feel bad but still not regret what you've done. You just seem like someone who's very decisive.
[ She doesn't think it's terrible. ]
You made a choice, and you're living by it. Isn't that right?
[Defensive 'I don't care and I'm definitely not mad' levels reduce significantly.]
It doesn't sit well with me, that I played a role in her death, but playing a role in Grace's death wouldn't have sat with me either. She shouldn't have involved me. Since she did, I had to act on what I thought best.
[ Medb thinks Misa confided in Harrow for a reason. What that reason was, Medb can only make a guess at. ]
It seemed like you tried to minimize damage where you could. You could have chosen to give her any other type of obsession to deter her but chose one to not let anyone die.
That says something, doesn't it?
[ She already said, it doesn't sit well with her to have played a role in those deaths, and isn't that just more proof? ]
[She's a little mystified by it, too. She can understand the general concept, of wanting to either be loved or die.]
I couldn't have, so it is an irrelevant question. I did try, but she didn't want to live anymore if she didn't succeed, and she felt like she was not likely to succeed here without taking the risk. And I do understand that, I suppose.
She had the ambition, but not the intelligence. [Rude.] Every step of her plan was a mistake. From telling me in the first place, to cursing me five minutes after she ought to have.

[Honestly, it was probably due to her aesthetic.]

[ Medb sounds almost mystified by it. The little she heard about Misa's boyfriend was not very good. ]
But if you could have changed her mind, would you have wanted to?

But Medb thinks that's an awfully teenage dramatic mindset of Misa. ]
I can't say she lacked ambition for the lengths she chose to go to. I can recognize that.

Yeah, she could have worn gloves when she tried the Medbay pod, too.
[ Acting would only get her so far. ]
