"No. But it was often the right answer at the time." In Mount Weather. When she burned Lexa's people. Even when it came to stripping everyone of their lack of pain so that they could be returned to the reality outside of the City of Light. Every bit of the way, she's had to make that choice for other people. In some of them, there was even an absence of death in there.

"It's good for people to be able to live out their lives without it hanging over their head. Of course, there are extremes, too." The Primes. She hasn't even figured out how to explain that to Lexa. Becca had made that possible, whether it was good or bad. "But you're right. I see a lot about this world that I like. I think you will, too."

Lexa had always been open-minded. This world is flawed in many ways, flawed because of the power being held by people who barely deserve it, flawed because of the emphasis on a false currency to hold people to. Flawed for so many reasons. "Or ... you'll see what it could be. Like I do." To be more precise.
