[A wave of anger and hate hits J, bringing up a bile up to her throat -- almost suffocating her. How does he dare to say something like that. She doesn't know what's going on between him and Peter and honestly speaking? She doesn't care. But how does he dare to claim that Peter -- and her-- deserved to die.
There's another pause before J manages to write him a reply, hands shaking from anger.]
[And now J's ignorance kicks in. She doesn't know what all has happened between him and Peter. All she knows is that they have been in bad terms for some time now. But she doesn't know anything about traps or threats.]
[For his own part, Rinzler can't even bring himself to be surprised. Of course the user would apportion all the blame with no real knowledge of the situation. Reasons don't matter. Not to her, and not to the others either.]
[J has been purposely avoided looking into details of what happened back on that night. She had seen few network posts people arguing about AIs, the definition of sentient, what was right and what wrong. It had all been such a mess that she had decided to leave it, wanting to put it all behind her.
[It's not like she doesn't get what he's telling her here.
While she had never imagined Peter to be completely innocent (it always took two to tango) in this incident she still had deliberately avoided thinking about it too much -- things had been difficult and confusing enough between them already.
And now she wants to kick herself. For being so naive, clinging on what had been and pretending that things were still alright and letting that to blind her like this. For being so disgustingly weak.]
[And with that she closes the conversation and goes to look for the records. It takes some time from her to find the said files from the MID library. She watches all three trial videos carefully, absorbing all the information into her brain.
She's surprised to see that Alice Quinn was part of this mess, no one had told her about that. All the network posts and conversations she had seen so far had only been about the conflict between him and Peter. Well, that certainly explains why she had looked so guilty when she came to visit her after her resurgence.
Another thing she takes a note of is how.. remorseless Peter looks when confronted about attempted murder. Now, his morals and understanding of the right and wrong aren't any of her business and he's free to do and act as he wants to -- but still, somehow that only makes her feel angry.
She's angry at Peter, Alice, Sans and everyone who had been present during the trials and not told her anything about it. Of course, she's aware that it's her responsibility to find out about these things but how has others dared to let her go on blind like this.
[When long minutes pass without response, Rinzler dismisses the display. The silence can't quite be called a relief—not with his processing running loops over Clu's expected summons—but at least the stream of insults is over with.
He'd thought.
Resentment flares up just as readily as if it never had a chance to fade. He's "responsible"? For killing her? For cutting out her voice? Or for every slur and strike and trick her fellow user had delivered?
All of it, probably. He's not sure why he ever expected this to go another way.]
[Even through a text J can tell that he doesn't take her words seriously. Her anger might be directed at somewhere else at the moment but it doesn't mean that the flames of loath and hate have been extinguished.]
[No need to limit the language. Rinzler knows exactly what he did. And all of this would be easier if that meant what it should.]
Reference (Peter_Maximoff): yours.
[Remember? None of this would have happened 'if you hadn't attacked peter'? Don't contradict yourself so soon, user. And hypocrisy aside, Rinzler hadn't brought it up.]
[Now it's J's turn to feel frustrated urge to walk away from this conversation. He was right, of course, she had been the one to mention Peter and claimed that he was innocent to this mess -- only to find out that to be false.
But things couldn't be that simple.
If Peter hadn't gone after Rinzler then none of this would've happened, true, but he hadn't been the one to attack her. Rinzler had called her a threat but that still didn't make his actions correct.]
[It's his fault that she died. Nothing more, nothing less. Rinzler doesn't know how much the user's blaming him for, but more and more? He doesn't care, either. J's not the only one who's sick of looping.]
[He knows, and he didn't, and this entire crashing inquiry has almost been enough to make him regret the choice. He's not giving her anything else to insult him with.
