[To: Annie, Wheatley] <That's fine. Please do so if it's no trouble.>
Cyrielle silently cursed, "Please do so if it's no trouble"? Really? "Yes, a friend of yours is life threatening danger, what? Intervene? Sure, but only if it's no trouble!" Tch. Of course it would be of issue. How irritating... She still didn't know how to act near Annie and Wheatley. Should she even be thinking of them as "Annie and Wheatley" or should she be thinking of them as her siblings? But it seemed odd to think of them "my siblings", it stripped away their names and grouped them together as a less defined group.
Great, now she was more concerned about mere banalities than the ally who may or may not be in danger.
Of course, to put it into perspective, plenty of people are probably dying from the actions of Murder Night. Generally speaking, if someone calls themselves "Murder Night", they presumably aren't pacifists. Or very creative with names, but that's another matter for another time.
Human nature at its finest.
She cared more about one person she knew, barely knew for that matter than the countless others dying, she thought more about how to address people than where a missing ally was. Well, hopefully those dying can go to a better afterlife then, no point worrying about them when she can't assist and didn't intend to either. Justification. Another integral part of human nature. It's not person X's fault they performed action Y due to variable Z! Still, if were not for it, people would be crushed by monolithic quantities of guilt, it served as a partial limiter of guilt, something Cyrielle was rather thankful for.
After all, even though she despised humanity in general and, now with exposure to supernatural beings, was becoming disillusioned with living beings in general (perhaps it was Fate's influence? Or was it always there and partly why Fate chose her?) it was one of the mechanisms that allowed her to comfortably call herself an optimist.
