The way everyone reacted, it was like... [Real fear. Like he was a monster, almost?
Ah. Suddenly he knows what he's reminded of. The Warrior of Light with his fearsome, inhuman strength. Garlean soldiers turning tail and running... Kids scampering away from him in the snow, not wanting the help, fearing the opposite.]
... Rose, do you ever get the feeling that maybe the way we solve problems on our world isn't the way other people solve problems?
I don't like taking lives, but these were demons. I thought—I just thought... I was supposed to deal with them like we always deal with voidsent. They threatened Varian and Fern, after all. They didn't have good intentions.
So we send them back to the void realm, and if they happen to get killed permanently, then that's fine too. No one would miss them. No one would care.
... But these were still people, in the end.
[He lets out a shaky laugh.]
Look at me, feeling some semblance of regret this far in. We're made for killing. And we'll keep killing and killing and killing until something else kills us first.
