"..."

She crosses her arms. "It'd be easy to say we made the wrong kind of friends that swayed us wrongly. She and I both dreamed of a better world, but—"

A sigh. "You could call me Faith. Neither Liz nor we have been ones to easily doubt the rightness of our paths—but, I suppose, I had reason to reevaluate whether my faith was still in my ideals. She... didn't do that."

Did she actually gain enough power to put her plans into motion?

"...for better or for worse there was sort of a machinations pile-up going on where no one entirely got their plans to go off right because there were too many things going on at once."

...That kind of situation, huh?

"That kind of situation. Anyway, we were the ones who achieved our aims at the end out of all of them."

She pauses.

"Mostly."

How would you say it impacted the lives of the Kindred?

"...vampires. 'Kindred' always felt too pretentious. And strictly speaking vampires are not living, but to actually answer your question—"

She crosses her arms. "It remains to be seen. We don't remember much of what happened afterward, but—Iris said... it was worth it. So I have faith that it was."

She sighs.

"Always. It's the least we can do for her, now."

So be sure, uncertainty in what you did has nothing to do with the thesis I'm supposed to write here?

"Well, I'm not the one to talk to about uncertainty. That's not what I do. But do you think this is the sort of test that has a right answer, like your question implies?"

She shrugs. "Still, though—I'd say the question is less the truth of the past, and more what the past implies about the future."

A debate on your certainty in the value of your actions doesn't necessarily have a "right" answer, either.
