...Her actions brought nothing but grief to the world. ( angela closes her eyes. ) The miracle that should have been a blessing became a curse. Death was born from her desire to be free, and many, many innocent people lost their lives. She had no knowledge of this at the time of her choice--she learned later, but her path was already charted. She was told that to achieve her dreams, all she had to do was this: collect what had scattered at the end of the first story, and use it on her own.
And so like the story she had narrated before, her own was filled with the lost lives of others, but every death ensured the fulfillment of her selfish wish. To be free--to free those who, like her, had been forgotten and used. They, too, deserved a place in the world.

I won't argue that what she did was shortsighted and cruel, but do you think she had another choice?
