If i had Alice I would not have reached that point,

since I believe that it is not worth ruining my life and
that of my family by murdering a man who is not
worth it.
And if I had been in Henry's place at first I would have
been frozen by that situation, and then I would have
tried to calm her down and ask for a lot of help
