But she’s have a chance to go back and maybe answer his question better. She lied to him when he asked if she knew him and that’s why he killed her maids. If she went alone instead of with them she could spare them their deaths... and she could answer in a way that might keep her alive, like telling the truth.

Also is that she has to play that day through, so no matter what happens that day will happen and depending on her answers she will die or be allowed to live. And at the beginning during the ‘prologue’ she stated that she’d already died many times so I’m guessing she’s not going to answer in a way that would amuse him enough to keep her alive for awhile, the next few chapters are probably her trying to figure out the right things to say and her dying... so...

I doubt an 'in****' mofo like Castor would care if she went alone or with her maids. He'd still find a reason and way to kill them in front of her. Besides if she does things the diary doesn't say then she will most likely end up dead in ways she can't predict. And she didn't lie. He wasn't referring to the time they met on the path with Hernandez and himself. She said no because she knew he was asking about something else. And finding an answer to keep herself alive depends very much on finding out what makes him tick and how to respond to that. She can't do that if she keeps avoiding him.
If she goes back in time before her death, as long as it’s not her brother doing it then she can grab a sword or knife and stab herself to go back before the mess happened, it’s not to late since he hasn’t killed her yet.
