people be like ‘ashley wants you to shoot her but if you try to she lets chris die lmao what a hypocrite’
people are forgetting that it’s the sum of your choices that matters most. if you point the gun at chris first she starts screaming for him to change his mind to kill her instead. if you then point the gun at ashley she doesn’t hold it against him.
her saying to kill her so he can live is brave. but to have chris just automatically go ‘alright bye’ and point the gun at her makes ashley second guess the kind of person that chris is. he goes from this sweet guy who saved her once already to someone who would gladly shoot her if his own life was at risk. it makes her think that he’d willingly cut her out of his life to save his own skin. so of course later on, when he comes running up to the cabin and it’s his life in her hands, all she’s going to remember is staring into the muzzle of a pistol. would you let that person inside?
there’s an old adage that says actions speak louder than words. the moment chris turns that gun on her without flinching, all of what they just said becomes white noise. it just becomes that gesture of the boy that she genuinely loves looking at her down the barrel of a gun, ready to pull the trigger.
