[ Ben might not be as mad about that as Diego had been, but - well, he doesn't really get the impulse. At all. What had made her think that airing all that would make any of it any better? And some of the things she'd said about him... he knows she had never thought he would read any of them. She'd thought he was dead and gone, when in actuality he was dead and not-gone. But that doesn't make it easier, having read her real interpretation of him, presented to all those strangers as fact. ]

Ben wonders if her parents had encouraged her to be violent, to protect herself - or whether they'd been almost entirely uninvolved in it. He wouldn't know how to ask, though, and he isn't sure he ought to anyway. ]
