[i'm so sorry i started to reply to this for real and then work blew up. anyway.
When the memory fades out, Flayn finds that, well... she can't help but think that in the very unlikely event that she ever ran into any of the girls from Zenitsu's memories, she would have some very stern words for them.
He deserves so much better than what he's gotten.
(He definitely deserves better than what he got after she meddled in his affairs.)]
...I hope you know you deserve to be treated much better than you have been, Zenitsu.
[He opens his mouth, perhaps to protest some point, but doesn't speak right away. It's always weird, being told that when he knows how crazy he can drive people.]
Well, the cultivator who took me in treated me a lot better.
Maybe everyone was trying to help, but weren't you trying to help even before that? It doesn't make sense to pardon everyone but you when you think about that. It's not like you used your power carelessly, either.

He's the old man from the end of that memory.

[But lord, Zenitsu. Please cultivate better taste in lovers. Find yourself someone who will cherish you and let you hold their hand!!]

More importantly, don't blame yourself for what happened. Yours wasn't the only power that was at work last week.
no subject
...well... no, but it seems to have been the catalyst for the others.

Everyone was just reacting to how we were acting. That's not your fault. No matter what anyone says, you can't think that, all right?
no subject
[so
it is her fault!
beau's threats the next day are only going to hammer that home.]

...still...
[It's hard to shake the guilt for her own actions - particularly when, for the most part, she can't even admit to them.]

You were thinking about me when you did it. That's more than enough for me.
no subject
You truly are among the kindest people here.
no subject
Are you going to tell Asch?
no subject
...I ought to. I owe you both that much.
no subject
Do you want me to go with you?
no subject
No... I should tell him myself.
[If he does react poorly, she doesn't want Zenitsu to get caught in the crossfire.]
no subject
All right. If anyone happens, though, you can tell me.
no subject
[if she turns up dead on friday he'll know it went poorly!]
