His frown deepens at that explanation, if only because-- "Don't you guys think she's had enough kept from her? I mean-- that- that's literally, like, ninety-seven percent of the entire Apocalypse issue. She had things removed from her awareness for- for over two decades. How is continuing the cycle Dad started the right move, ever, Ben?"
On one hand, he can understand the temptation of it; she didn't remember--he distantly wonders if it was less that she didn't, and more didn't want to and she had created her own mental block from the trauma--so why break her with the truth? But considering the situation as a whole, Diego doesn't see it being the kind of choice that could have a good outcome. Not when it would be twisted, sharpened, heightened into the idea that she, somehow, still wasn't worthy of knowing the truth, no matter how twisted or bad it is. That she was still the one that needed placating, platitudes, and lies thrown at her.
Diego raises an eyebrow and a finger right back at him, swatting Ben's away. "I'll be as hard on him as I want. He needs to quit the shit."
