[ It's clear she doesn't mean that. It just seems like she has a lot of emotions around everything that happened - as Ethlyn herself surely has too. As anyone must have, with how wild that week has been.
And survivor's guilt has always been such a particularly rough thing for Ange to deal with that she doesn't know how to express it in any other way than this - though she isn't mad at Claude at all. Only at herself.
There's a slight pause, and then the girl adds: ]
.. sorry, I shouldn't say that around you. [ No cursing around Ethlyn!! She respects the other just a little bit too much for it.. ] It-- It is dumb though! He should've used it on you, if not just because you could have helped people who got injured during all that chaos. You're way more useful than I am.
