[For the record, the answer is yes. Self-preservation and protecting Edward are the way she justifies her silence, but there's also the fact that she doesn't feel that she has the right to share what she knows. Just as she keeps her own past close to the chest, and just as she's kept silent about Edward's confessions... Schuldig's past is his to share or hide as he sees fit. So she's kept it to herself. It's out of something almost like respect.
Which is why she'll never consciously own up to it.]
What do you want me to say? That I'd love to see him murder you in cold blood? The answer is still no, Schuldig. Just as much as I'd rather you not kill him.
[Not that she expects him to hold back. But ideal doesn't have to equal realistic.]
