I don't think I would be much of a swordsman if I said otherwise. People will do all sorts of things when they're desperate. But there's a difference between a desparate act and a manipulative one.

You deserve a chance to live as much as anyone else.

Very well, then. Eat when you have the appetite and keep up your strength.

You were doing the best you could with all the information you had, right?
It wasn't the correct choice. But it was the best one you felt you could make.

So the answer was that we need more information - the answer is always that we need more information.
[and how frustrating is that. she moves to turn.]
I'll be back.
[ . . . ]
Seafood is a good choice.
