[ She listens to his certainty which is well beyond arrogance, the divine privilege that enabled him to attack her when they first met despite being on the same side. He can't help being who he is: powerful, warlike, and accustomed to having weight in the world. His personality is such that she feels that talking to him is useless, she being a mere country mouse of a human with a heart too tender for hard decisions.
If Set says that he only intends for the weapon to be a countermeasure, she can only hope that he'll stay true to that. But it's difficult to put too much trust in someone who came out of the gate betraying her, even if he didn't see it that way. And despite his reassurances, she isn't convinced that this weapon will be the final say. ]
Even if they aren't able to make one large weapon, they can make a thousand smaller ones. And it won't be us Shard-Bearers who have to bear the price.
[ Indeed, the weight of a soul can't be taken lightly. It worries her that Set would feel justified sacrificing a "few" for the sake of many, however responsible he might feel about it. Gray is, admittedly, a bit sensitive about the idea of people sacrificing other people without their consent. ]
Mr. Set... Zenith is waging a war of politics. If you're determined to make use of this weapon, I hope you'll also consider it as a political tool before a destructive tool.
[ Gray is no politician, but she spent a fair amount of time immersed in a cutthroat den of politics when she was in London. She feels she can at least try to offer that different perspective. ]
