Describing her conflicting emotions as a "strong internal struggle" makes it sound better than it actually is, but at least it's getting closer to the root of her problem. But before she can dwell on that, there is a chair and a table moving around by magic, and although she has gotten used to the sight of such things, having it happen in front of her unexpectedly makes her jump in her seat. Her surprise is short-lived, however, and she follows the pebbles with her eyes as Viatorus explains the rules of the game to her.
She could say the very same things about the Nexus, which is probably why Viatorus chose it as an example. She gives him a small nod of understanding, but makes no move to pick up a pebble yet. "I... um, I'll try it for the situation I'm in, if that's okay?"
Taking a deep breath, she picks up a white pebble and delicately sets it on the table. "I got to see Caspar again. Alive." She reaches for a black pebble and places it next to the white one. "I didn't tell him what I really wanted to say." She grabs another black pebble and puts it down on the table. "He pushed me away."
Her hand automatically reaches for another black pebble until she remembers the point of the exercise. Balance. Light and dark. There must be something else that's light...
She carefully selects a white pebble and places it next to the black ones. "He stopped Three from interrogating me. He... he probably saved my life."
