[She never wanted to get involved in this in the first place. But Loki's her best friend, and seeing him as struck down and hopeless as he was locked up in his room, shut away from the world, she couldn't let that keep up.]
If he stepped away from it in the first place ... [She thinks on that, shaking her head as she has a realization, running a hand through her hair in disbelief.] Geez, if he backed down when you two got back together, of course he was trying to protect whatever you two have. It's not whatever else. You know how he feels about everything he's done in the past. He does feel guilty and he's trying to be better. But if you're gonna drag him back in after he tried to make good on his mistakes — why wouldn't he be expecting more? You don't have to read minds to get that, Billy.
[She pauses, catching her breath.] Look, I don't have some answers of spiritual guidance for you. I don't know all the details of whatever relationship the three of you have, but from what you've all told me, it sounds like it's right there. There's not much else I can give you.
