Klaus doesn't understand it, either. Everything else out of the shadows and on the table now, he doesn't get why Dad would have hidden her powers, suppressed it away like it had never existed at all. But he's not as generous in believing in the best laid plans of that man, either.
"I don't know, V... why did Dad ever do anything? He was never exactly the bastion of patience or reason."
His face screws up with confusion at that last question, not quite following her at first and there's an awkward teeter of silence as he tries to sort it out and--
Then it clicks. And incredulity takes over.
"Knew, what, Vanya, that the Apocalypse was coming in like twenty years? I seriously doubt that," there's a scoff, more of disbelief than anything else, and certain directed more at the idea of Dad being that proactive about the sake of the entire world than at Vanya herself. "He created this, Vanya. He didn't predict it, he made it!" His hands are moving animatedly now with the vehemence of his words. "If he hadn't done this- suppressed your powers and taught us all to push you aside and shoved you behind a curtain-- none of this would have ever happened!"
Whether it's true or not is debatable, and is genuinely something they will probably never truly be able to know the answer to. But whether it is or not, it's obvious it's what Klaus believes, at any rate. There is too much conviction there for it to be anything less than his own truth of the situation.
