How does Rey know there's nothing to be gained from telling her? Isn't it a bad idea to let your significant other go on believing a lie?

You're just mad because my story isn't like this product I hate and have complained about ad nauseum.
Why are you fixating on my product not being good so much? Get a life loser.

I'm sure Emmens could explain why this gives me a headache better than I could but I'll try my best.
Vengeance isn't always the answer, especially when the subject has punished
themselves more than you ever could. There was a terrific Last Airbender episode about this that Lily loves to misinterpret.
Furthermore is Aliana right to deny Luke this bit of right that he did for her? That's not fair to Luke, especially since Aliana outlives him(much to my moral outrage) and gets to tell everyone what an asshole he was. We don't get to see Aliana grow from being a miserable edgelord because that's the part of her that Lily likes. In Lily's mind Aliana is right and no force in the universe gets to change that.
She had to change the ethics of the Jedi so they could murder Aliana's mom and make her morally justified in pissing in Luke's mouth.
Aliana has already done worse things than Luke at this point and still moves forward without any remorse, especially with this notion that she is right to be angry and seek revenge and the story denies this conclusion that the person who did her harm, is not a heartless monster causes Aliana not to grow a consciousness of being justified in hating someone not exempting her from being herself a monster
being a victim of abuse or tragedy does not justify perpetuating abuse and pain to other people, especially when you use as excuse not to change and/or avoid paying for your mistakes
this is not about Luke receiving respect, it is about Aliana being unable to develop because she still uses her pain to justify being the victim even at the age of 30 with more power than any Jedi in history and no one to threaten her ideology while she kills whomever she wants without any negative consequences
to forgive is not to reconcile and welcome the person into your life as a friend (which is already impossible to do with Luke anyway), is the notion that you made a decision that you will not let the memories of your pain overwhelm you and plague your decisions and relationships as she has been doing until today.
since Aliana and the story demand that no one has the right to upset and contradict her for her attitudes and that they should comfort her whenever she is sad just so she doesn't have to do any effort to confront her own pain, Aliana makes people responsible for her own mental health as if she had no other way
Lily always says that Aliana is justified in hating the people who hurt her badly, but blames the galaxy for having negative opinions about the Sith despite all the atrocities they did, and says they are paranoid despite raising several red flags herself.
the story does not see this as hypocrisy on the part of Aliana and a reason to review and rethink her worldview, she never thinks she can be wrong in her actions, she just do and the story validates her decisions every time
the only development that Aliana had was having a single girlfriend instead of several and sharing her past, but none of that made her grow as a person since she hasn't changed or even questions her attitudes, in fact other people have to change to please Aliana while she remain without opposition
without physical challenges, without moral challenges, without ideological challenges and the purpose of emotional challenges is for readers to feel sorry for her and justify her actions.
Aliana’s character needs a better writer than Lily
