[ John gets a frown in return, mostly because...well, okay, she admittedly didn't make the suggestion very clearly. So that's somewhat fair.
But he hadn't come up with anything better, so at least discussing it seemed okay.
Although it wasn't as though she wasn't aware that killing and death freaked John out (their first conversation had more than covered that) it wasn't something she was edging around to lightly.
It hadn't been something she'd thought about seriously, or at least not something she'd put into words before, but... ]
I know exactly who would have to be done away with in order to stop this from ever occurring, though.
[ True. From the ghosts, from the information she'd gathered...Aradia's fairly sure she knows the name.
She says that in a flat tone, looking at nothing in particular instead of John. Maybe looking at time itself, though she can't see anything of that, here. ]
If you stop someone throwing a pebble in a pond, you stop the ripples, too. Stop that person from starting any of this...
[ She gestures around. ]
...And none of us were ever here. None of us ever died. None of us ever killed - in this place, at least. And none of them ever died, either.
[ Aradia means the ghosts, here. She's still not actually said how that would happen, but - it's not like she's suggesting they go and ask Rose and Terezi for help.
No, she's apparently suggesting removing the source of the issue before it, you know. Became an issue. ]
