[[Page doesn't move to interrupt his recount, nor does she show much emotion as he tells it, preferring to move back slightly so there isn't a chance he could see any emotion, should it choose to surface. What Logan is telling her is making her highly uncomfortable, shattering the distinctly black-and-white manner in which she views the world, and has for some time. He's always been the heartless, evil, vile tyrant that they need to eliminate, free from any redeeming qualities that would justify his behaviour. So his story is...well. It's not sitting well with her.
Could he be lying? The thought does strike her, but at the same time she dashes it; everything lines up too perfectly with what Ben said about Aurora, about what Walter and the Princess had to face, and unless Logan is a fantastic actor (which she doubts, somehow), the grief plaguing his face and words as he tells his tale feel very real. Perhaps he has been acting this whole time, however; acting the part of a tyrant to try and get what he needed to fight off this....this Crawler.]]
...I have heard the tale of the Spire and the Heroes, yes. Everyone has.

She's propped the Gear up on a nearby stump, bringing her knees up to her chest so she can listen properly. At present, she's looking down at her hands, wrapped around her legs. Really, she's not quite sure what to say.]]
....I understand why you acted as you did.
[[That seems to be a good place to start. Flicking her eyes back to the camera, Page hardens her gaze, although it remains somewhat quizzical.]]
But that doesn't excuse most of your actions. You....you've hurt many people. Too many people.
[[Lowering her eyes again, Page falls deep into thought. This explains why he took that question to the network, at least. She wonders what others here in Johto have said to him, and realises that she's the only person who could possibly give him an answer, speaking as a citizen of Albion.
....well, apart from-]]
...is that why you put Reaver in charge of the industrial sector of Bowerstone, even though he's as much a tyrant as you?
[[It's a segway away from the main topic, and she knows it; however, this will give her time to build her thoughts up properly regarding Logan and his failed Kingship.]]
