Then maybe she should sit this one out if what you say is true.. Because her first response to Harry when he suggested it, was paraphrasing that she was capable "of handling herself." Well, if she is, then lending her wisdom and protective instincts to the paranet would be perfect.
Indeed, She could choose to sit this one out. She could, not she should. As an officer, she should serve and protect. Even if the job is hard, even if the scope is somewhat above her pay grade, she is oblige to do it. Now she is not an officer. She is no longer oblige to do something, it is no longer her duty. But if she chooce to do so, it is something else entirely. "Free will" is a TWG's guaranteed right, after all.
The fact of the matter is, Murphy no longer choose to prioritize other people. The paranet and other people would have to come second or even third. Harry is now first for her, and she has the right and in full position to make that choice.
The most important thing for her now is Harry. Staying by Harry side is her will, and since there is no longer any duty, concern or restriction upon her anymore, well, she is free.
