So, to clear things up first. You saw the footage at the trial, I assume. The battle on top of a battleship between a man in white, Ruby and myself with monsters around? That man was Roman Torchwick, the single most important person in my life. I loved him, as much as you can love someone you aren't in love with, and he loved and cared for me in a world that could have given two shits about either of us. He was my world, and I would have lived for him, died for him, killed for him, done whatever he wanted. And I will never regret who I have chosen to love. He was a crook, a swindler and a bastard, but he was also my crook, swindler and bastard and I was his right hand girl. Before him, I had nothing but a wretched life alone. After Ruby knocked me off that plane, leaving me to die from the fall, and he died but I survived? I had nothing but pain.
For two years, I did everything I could to hunt down the two people I held responsible. Ruby for getting him killed by separating us, and not having the decency to finish the job with me. Cinder Fall, because she was the one who got us wrapped up in that whole war.
I eventually teamed up with Cinder as an alliance because she's much more powerful than I am. And she wanted Ruby dead too. That was where I was when I came here. In pain. Hating myself. Hating Ruby. Hating Cinder. Hating Remnant. I wanted to kill her, and finally die in peace the way I felt I should have two years ago.
I share all this because it's been aired like my dirty laundry so why hide it any longer? And the context will help you understand what happened to me. You can't know what changed if you don't know where it began.
All of the above? You can confirm with Ruby. She'll disagree on a few particulars, but for the most part? We agree. It was war. People die in war. We weren't on the right side of the war, but that never mattered. I was on Roman's side in those days. I will always be Roman's to an extent even with him dead.
