has chell ever tried to think of wheatleys 'justification' for betraying her? or does she not give a fuck - he betrayed her, who cares why?
of course she has. she’s so lonely, after aperture – she wakes up and sees the stars and wonders about him. she thinks about his situation, not that different from hers; ‘lonely, stuck in a facility that he couldn’t escape, with no one to talk to, for years’ and then so much power in such a short time – sometimes, she thinks she sees why he did it. she thinks she forgives him.
and then she hates herself. she hates him and everything to do with him, hates the fact that she had let herself trust and then let that bond be broken. she wishes the worst on him – to her knowledge, he isn’t sorry at all, and she resents that. she resents that she feels remorse and pity for him when for all she knows he feels absolutely fucking nothing. it fluctuates, but she’s definitely more angry than anything else. her trust, especially post canon, isn’t easy to earn, and he was the one that threw that away. not her.
