i wasn't sure how to feel about this when i read it yesterday, because of how loaded a term "forgiveness" can be, but the more i think about it the more i love how it really demonstrates the sheer kindness of the silt verses' definition of forgiveness. it's not "you have to forgive to become a better person" - VAL herself says in the scene that this is referring to that she is not going to get better - but "you always have the choice to be kind, and that is what can set you free".
