"You have two versions of Karrie to choose from, one trying to find her place in this world and one coming to terms with the damage she's caused everyone. Surely you can open your heart to one of them? With a heavy dose of caution of course." He looked back at her and folded his arms. "May? There clearly is. Nalo is the smartest woman I know and the Animus is a machine created to answer questions, surely you have to see that if they say this Eternal is involved in whatever crime The'kal committed. Order. Back in the mansion I jokingly accused The'kal of eating an apple I bought for Amere. I had the apple in my hands and she still apologized for it, she offer to give me an entire orchard with the world's best apples. Even after I reassured her it was a joke she still gave me a bunch of apples. If you accuse The'kal of anything her first instinct is to cower and apologize. I don't know what happened to Ashia but if it was bad enough for you to exile The'kal there's no way she wouldn't panic beyond comprehension."
