[There's a bit of a pout from him at that since she's right. Loving people isn't some perfect idyllic thing, though he does think there needs to be a line.]
I dunno, there's gotta be a limit. If I did that with someone like... like my dad, I'm pretty sure all he'd do is keep hurting me and I'd just ruin my life.
[That was something Finn had come to terms with in space, and something Fern has been while here in Trench.]
At some point you gotta protect yourself, no matter how much you care about them.
There is, and everyone's limit is different. Some people have incredibly high limits some people have low. Some have none. You have to decide for yourself where your line is. And if it's crossed, you have every right to cut that person out of your life or whatever you decide as a result of that limit being reached.
[She looked over to the waves.]
I suppose I have a very... VERY big limit. Maybe too big... but I'm really used to way worse. It doesn't excuse how much what Maul did hurt, but... it... I have worse things to compare it to and it falls short.
And that isn't healthy. [She offers, already aware it's messed up. Varian had made that ABUNDANTLY clear.] But there are people I don't forgive either. People I will never forgive. [And they're very fortunate that they are dead and not here]
[He certainly doesn't disagree with her on that. People need lines, they need boundaries. Letting Martin in time and again, letting Gumbald in - those jerks taught him that.
He gives Usagi a soft nod, glad that they're talking about this.]
I trust you on this. [He does, he really does.]
But I'm still gonna worry. [Because that's just what friends do, and this situation is serious enough that he's concerned she's going to wind up hurting herself trying to help someone as toxic as his father.]
You wouldn't love me if you didn't worry. [She smiled, gently nudging his shoulder.] That's part of the price for loving someone, you worry about them, for them. It's as much a part of the package as being excited for them, feeling soothed by them.

So thank you, Fern, for loving me.
