[ It's not condescending to disagree with someone honestly; Root isn't hiding her opinion, she isn't scorning his perspective, she just fundamentally and truthfully feels differently. That doesn't bother her. She's always been the odd one out, and if anything, other people thinking there is some grander plan that she doesn't believe in, waiting for their time to come and their fated results to happen, when it never will -- that upsets her.
It's fundamentally a tragedy. People deserve better than to be ignored by the cold, uncaring universe. But that doesn't mean it's her place to proselytize to them about it.
That would be for her, not for them. Like how asking Cyrus for forgiveness would be for her. He doesn't need to know who killed his friends and destroyed his life to find peace; he already has. Root would have just been looking for her own absolution at the expense of his. Similarly, she'll pay Richard the respect of not hiding her true beliefs, but she won't criticize his, either.
She spares Richard an amused smile, holstering her weapon. Poor Whitey, but he should get used to it now. ]
You show me first, and then we can swap, [ she suggests. ] Take turns embarrassing ourselves!
