Gerard attentively listen to her the whole time. He didn't interrupt her. He just sits there staring at her memories playing in a repetitive sequence.

Considering all those bad things that happened, he cannot blame her if she chooses to turn into a monster and forget all the crap she had experienced.

All those people he killed in the West Town Siege? He doesn't know them, heck he didn't even know their background. The thoughts comfort him and his weary heart every night before he falls asleep.
