[Perona lips turn up at the corners, just slightly. She's unable to help it - the justification of her actions even when not herself is nice. It eases her guilt some, and at least cements that she confided in someone who can at least understand where she's coming from. It's not at is she's proud of acting like a animal. Which is exactly what it was like, she was acting just on basic instinct, everything was a trigger for a violent physical reaction. It was...terrifying.
