[He said too much. Talked too much about himself, made it about him. Now she feels the need to to try and...cheer him up or something, qualify that there's nothing wrong with him, that he's a good person, when both of those things are factually untrue. But that's not her fault. Of course it's not her fault. It's not anyone else's fault.]
i didn't tell them right away, no. and i...misinterpreted. that's not an excuse. i was...i was obligated to tell them both something. because if it came out later and they were blindsided, it would have been worse for everyone. i thought if i was vague...i'm good at being vague, heh. i thought it would be alright if i just kept it simple. but...what i was doing was putting them before you.
[And that's not an okay thing to do to someone, even though he does it all the time. He just...doesn't have the capacity to care about everyone equally. A major failing. And at the end of the day, there's always going to be one person who takes absolute priority.]
i didn't apologize sooner because i, uh. it's easier to just remove myself from the equation and leave people alone than to try and...fix things. i sort of figured you'd rather just not talk to me again.
but, uh. wonderland is awful small. and things keep happening.
[So this was kind of inevitable, one way or another.]

...heh. good one. i, uh, wood be remiss if i didn't compliment your pun skills.
