I'm saying that Saint-Germain has trouble understanding other people. Tachibana Hibiki may not have gotten her to open her hands to others, but she did make her start to see the value in looking past her own goals and preconceptions. But she's still learning.
You also have to understand that she's devoted herself to the alchemic arts, and in alchemy, you can't gain anything unless you sacrifice something first. Combine that with Adam Weishaupt's manipulations, and the price Ryslig demands from all of us...you can see why she'd become set in her ways, at least? I hope anyway.
But I can't let that be an excuse.
I'm going to be honest with you. To me, it didn't matter if Saint-Germain's goals were right or wrong. I'd have moved heaven and earth for her, either way. Even now, the morals of the matter aren't my concern. But...now I'm responsible for her happiness, and seeing that she stays true to herself and what Tachibana Hibiki taught her. We're equals now, and protecting her heart means protecting her from herself sometimes.
