[Chandra says that without any heat behind her words. She picks herself up, sets down her drink, and then moves to sit next to Emerald. Gently, she takes one hand and puts it around Emerald's shoulders in a sisterly gesture, the bond thick with concern.]
She gave you a reason to live, sure. But that doesn't mean that you have to follow her down a road full of bad choices.
[Her voice firms, the sense of resolve that was always in Chandra's bond-sense turns hard, focused.]
She made the choice to get involved with Salem, you told me. She dragged you into a nightmare, and she made the choice to confront an enemy that ultimately killed her. Those choices are clearly not good ones, if she's dead and you're living in fear of a monstrous demigod.
You don't have to try and kill anyone, because you don't want to, deep down. I know that. You've got a choice, to either get out of a quagmire that she put you in, or wind up making bad choices yourself.
[Weirdly, Yang is the one person from Em's world Chandra had met. She seemed nice enough, and not the sort to kill.]
I know what it's like. I...had the chance to kill the man that killed my father. The man that framed me for his death. But...I didn't take it. Because revenge is a choice, and it's not the right one.
