Even after being found not guilty everyone thinks she did it, promoting her to be mistreated.

1. (harsh, uncaring) Well, why shouldn’t they be seen that way? They certainly are!
2. (Semi-calm, but clearly angry, talking about what will happen when she finds her father's killer) Oh no—I’m not gonna kill them. Killing them would be giving them the easy way out. Killing would be too merciful. (Glares at Benji) I will not be satisfied until they have been made to suffer the way I’ve been forced to suffer. I want them to know what it’s like to lose so much that you have nothing left—I want them to know what it’s really like to live a tortured existence. (behind gritted teeth) And I want to hear them beeeeg for death. And then I want them to continue to beg for death, every single day for the rest of their miserable existence—but never be given it. (Snarls) To kill my father and take him away from me was unforgivable enough as it is, but to set me up to look like the perpetrator! (Stops back, pauses, and gives a slight hint of an evil laugh) Oh. I will make. Them. Sorry. (pauses, slightly sarcastic) So I'm sorry you get tired of hearing about it. (raises her dagger and swing it at a nearby vase, destroying it as she finally comes unhinged) I get tired OF LIVING IT!!!3. [in disbelief, pleasantly surprised, looking down at her father's dagger] I just can't believe that after everything you and I have been through together and all the fights we’ve had that you would do this for me. [slightly embarrassed and blushing, hesitant to continue] Seriously...this means a lot more to me than you could ever understand.
4. (Crosses her arms, closing her eyes, hysterical and nearly in tears) You didn’t have to spend your entire childhood wondering why everyone else got to have perfect relationships with their parents, but why you weren’t good enough for yours!! (Glances over at Benji, hurt in her eyes) I just...I wouldn’t expect you to understand. (pauses, somewhat recomposes herself, and clutches her amulet her hand) I guess...I just wanted to try and pretend it never bothered me, that someone I couldn't even remember wouldn't have that much power over me. But, the more I think about her, I just... (gets suddenly really angry and determined, turning on Benji, demanding a change in subject) You know what? No! We're not getting into this! Can we just get on with what we came here to do?!
5. (quietly, threateningly) Oh, Tyler Jackson Riggs…(pulls him even closer to her face) you are picking a fight with the WRONG person.
