Just a couple years ago Andrea would have been dead on about Willow. She was a goody two shoes, she followed every rule, and she never would have dreamed of hurting anyone. But things change, and she'd changed.
In truth she's uncomfortable to hear that she'd have been stabbed. She's not shocked-- she's dealt with plenty of violent people-- but it makes her certain that she can never truly trust her, not really. She just can't trust someone that would turn around and attack her when things got emotional, because things got emotional all the time. Willow turns more closed off, wary.
"Remind me never to put any knives near you," she says, as levelly as she can, trying to breathe through how tense the room is. And she'd been listening earlier. As much as it may have seemed like she'd glossed over it, she'd heard what Andrea had said about what Medic did. "He probably deserved it, you killing him.
"But just because he deserved it, and so did Warren, doesn't mean we can become murderers. Trying to control yourself is hard. You have to do it every day, and you don't get a break-- you just can't trust yourself. But to me, it's... it's worth it. It's what Tara would have wanted me to do, and I couldn't bear to hurt my friends again. I won't let that happen."
