ITP: Questions

[Four months. January would mark her fourth month in this place and Arturia is very, very confused. This is a place where special abilities are not only accepted, but commonplace, and there's little chance of the Grail War coming here. She always hated keeping secrets back home, but had understood the why of it. It bothered her, but she had accepted this as a fact of life.

Even more than that, Shinji weighs on her mind. Shinji had been a jerk, there was no question about that. The girls who followed him around were the type of teenage girl who seemed to think that sort of person was a real man. Arturia knew better than that just from spending so much time with Sakura. The only reason Arturia had not tried beating him to a pulp for what he did to his sister had been due to Sakura asking her to leave him be and stay out of it. It angered her to just stand by and yet....

...yet when she gets back home, she has every intention of going to the Matou home and telling Sakura in person that her brother is dead. Arturia has no idea how to tell her and the thought of lying to Sakura and creating a cover story leaves her slightly ill whenever she thinks of it since, in the end, Arturia feels like she is the one responsible. Archer may have put the bullet through Shinji's brain, but he had been Arturia's Servant.

There had to have been an alternative. There had to be.

Once she figures out how to post anonymously on the Network, she does so.]

When is it acceptable to kill someone?

For that matter, when would you say it is acceptable to keep secrets.?

Taking responsibility for the hurt you cause is part of what happens when you take up the sword. Honesty does not preclude kindness, however. Explain the circumstances. If you must condemn, condemn the action rather than the person. Even the noblest beings can be twisted by.... external forces.

That is a hard question. If you truly believe that they will be endangered by the revelation, you may have to hold something back. Even so, be very careful about what you avoid saying. Because if you leave things out, they may not be able to account for a later threat emanating from the earlier danger.

I would default to honesty and offer my protection, if it were me, but I do not know your situation.
