That was one of Helena's skills, no one could berate her more than she berated herself for the things she had done. There was little he could say to her that she hadn't already told herself on this matter. Well, he could probably add more about the mechanics of manipulating time and the paradoxes she would have created, but the admonishment, she'd more than taken care of.
"Probably more than my world could handle. The paradox in my world was made by someone else using an Artifact to allow time travel. The price he paid was a very heavy one." Of course, that was mostly due to the downside of the Astrolabe having induced a psychotic break in Artie more than anything else. But even so, Leena was dead because of it while Helena, Mrs. Frederic and the Warehouse were alive and in tact.
"Nevertheless, had I altered my timeline by saving my daughter, I would not have known the people I came to know." And she also wouldn't have tried to destroy the world and kill a long list of people along the way. "And as much as I love my daughter, I am not certain that I would trade my friends for her now." Helena had her time with Christina, and she'd finally accepted that. Besides, she doubted she would have found someone like Myka in Victorian London, much less found someone like Zoey.
