Hey! [She brushes the stray lock of hair behind her ear to prevent Guzma from pulling it again.] I said at their core!
[Lillie can tell when she's pushing it - especially when it comes to Guzma, who makes it very clear where the line is at all times. But she has one last thing that can't go unsaid.]
I think...people are their intentions. You must have had your reasons for doing things the way you did, but I think that maybe you're a better person than you think you are.
[So much more lies behind that. His intentions were not always good, she knows that. But he gave those kids a home and a purpose - and those were good intentions. He gave HER a home and freedom with it. Luna trusted him. He may have done bad things, and she won't necessarily excuse those things, but somehow she doubts he was ever in a position to accomplish his goal any other way.
She owes a lot to Guzma. She won't forget where he came from, but she won't forget what he's becoming either.]
