[Dexter hears the horror stories. Seems like what Klaus was saying about Lucrezia wasn't far off... He wasn't sure what he felt right now... On one hand, he was horribly frightened of what Klaus was capable of... but he was more frightened of Lucrezia... the woman who Klaus said was bad news.] That... That's awful... No wonder Klaus was saying she is not to be trusted and to kill him if it should arise...
[There's a long pause there... Dexter's very obviously trying to swallow his own fears. He isn't sure of what to say to comfort his not!brother, either....]
We need to make sure that this does not happen again.
We're all kind of on our toes right now. And it's just... on the one hand I want to give her a shot at a second chance, because she's talked about wanting one, but on the other we can't trust her not to... not to... [He trails off.]
How could you even give someone like that a second chance? Someone that manipulates and has no qualms with torture?! I'm not sure if that's bravery or stupidity! Especially when you know what she's capable of! I should consider myself lucky I haven't had an encounter with her yet.
You have my assistance though, Hiccup. It is the least I can offer.
It's... complicated. She's a person, she has a past and feelings just like everyone else. And besides, she's powerless right now. If we treated her anything but decently we'd deserve everything she dished out to us when she started getting stuff back.
I... [He's quiet for a moment, but not for long.] I don't know what to do. Everyone keeps offering to help, but I don't know what to do. I don't know what I need help with. I don't know... if I should do anything, or if I should just keep doing what I am doing, or if... if I didn't do the right thing or what the right thing even is.

"Talked about it?"
How could that settle anything? You should have gotten even, kid.

What? No. That's not... that's... I couldn't.

[ He pauses. ]
If I would have experienced what you have, I would have let rage consume me.
