I don't blame Ace-san for being upset, of course. I don't think he should have yelled at Arietta-san, but his point, at least, was a viable one. As for revenge, though...it seemed almost as though she lived by a code of sorts. One that was almost encouraging a sort of perpetual cycle of it.

I think to her, it was more like justice. And while revenge may feel like a petty thing, justice is a different beast.
