Hayley nods a little to acknowledge she's listening as her gaze wanders away from him. Her eyes fall to some of the fabric around her shoulders and she stares at it, wondering if Clark's cape feels the same. That he's chosen to stay in jail isn't exactly a surprise, but it's not something she understands either.
"Why?" She lifts her eyes to look at him again with the question. She has a very basic idea of the things they did - Bart not wanting to talk about it was indication enough of that - but Superman wasn't himself. "Either it wasn't him and it's not his fault or it was and he should be executed."
It's not quite so black and white as she makes it out to be and some part of her knows that. But it seems unfair that he should pick and choose. It's not his fault when Hannibal uses his abilities to murder her, but it's his fault when some monster does? Maybe he only cares because he saw it with his own eyes. Whatever the case, it makes Hayley feel all the less important or cared for from her former- current friend.
