...We had to walk through a terribly unpleasant ocean of blood to get here. It was more overwhelming than blood alone. I am terribly sorry if you have undergone such a thing before...
While I understand your feelings, you do not need to worry! I was prepared for it to be an unpleasant journey, and had support with me along the way. Therefore, I am all right! You, who have had to deal with this scrutiny and burden much longer than I have... You must have powerful inner fortitude!
No one deserves to be the subject of such scrutiny and hatred. It would be easy to become bitter and hateful yourself, or completely numb, in that position.

We must make sure to take you somewhere you can take proper control of yourself!

--Don't worry about it! I'm sorry you had to see that??

You can't blame people for being angry about what I've done. I just have to believe I'm still doing the right thing.

I would like to consult with Da Vinci, but if she believes it is safe for you to guide us, by all means.
