Not smug, but right

This won't make sense, sorry! Just had to get it out of my system. I just responded to some passive aggression from a friend by responding in kind. I suspect she'll think I was unaware that she was being passively aggressive, but she won't be sure. I'm not sure which idea I like better: that she was aware of my passive aggression in kind, which makes everything fair, or that she wasn't aware of it, and thought she got one over on me. But here's the thing: she didn't. She'll never understand that in this case, lately, I've been burning the city in order to save it. Or something like that.
I'm mildly curious about whether, in a month or two, this post will make sense to me; I'd be surprised if it makes sense to anyone but me (except probably the SO) even now.
