“I could have, but it might have cost me something else. I am sorry.”
Rabbit is entirely right, and here In-yo agrees, calmly and without hesitation, because whatever her faults In-yo does not flinch from who and what she is. She is absolutely responsible for the results of this decision, and she's probably right that it was necessary. This could have been a pivot point in the novella for Rabbit. Rabbit has information that would destroy In-yo, and yet she never considers whether to use it as a decision to be made. It's harder to see decisions like these, the ones that are ingrained in us through love or terror, but they're still choices we must own.
