Today is the first I've been able to say anything about it.
[she looks down at her hands]
I don't know if it's better or worse. It just - it is. I'm relieved to not be lying to all of you by omission anymore, but I think how Eleanor feels about it is more important than how I feel about it.
Murder is murder. I'm not going to argue that, and I'm not really trying to make you feel better or worse about it, but if you haven't been able to say anything, isn't it better to say whatever you want about it?
But I don't think it will really help matters at all for me to say "I didn't want to kill her," when I still did it, you know? [...] And it won't really help to say "I wanted to tell you all," when I couldn't.

Is it better for you now that you can say something about it?

Doing things you don't want to even if you recognize the necessity - that's life.
