This was really fun to write, I have to say, because of the aforementioned sads. Looking at this plot from Grune's perspective and seeing how she tries to make sense of it was a really interesting challenge.

As for how blunt she got, I've no canon basis for this (because amnesiac!Grune rarely gets to comment on serious situations), but it springs from what I think of as amnesiac!Grune's personal morality system. Stealing because you were hungry? She'd be as lenient as hell. Hurting someone deliberately because you thought it would be fun? FUCK NO, and if you're unrepentent, she will show your ass no mercy in protecting the victim. Throw in making one of her best friends into a monster and welp. There you are.

But yeah, "You're lying" and "I need to stop you, Giles" were the two lines that would not leave me alone until I wrote the fic, just because they're so absolute--the result of when you push Grune too far. It hasn't happened in Luceti yet, her getting pushed to this degree, just because it is that damn hard, but man do I hope it will someday.
