But...for the last one, I was glad you suggested the list that you did. Even with how it ended, even though I regret who we did kill and who we did hurt, I would've had a hard time doing it any other way.
We know now that it would've spared us a little, but it still would've kept me up at night to think that I was willing to kill someone who was helping me find my feet after I lost my memory. To think I was willing to kill Forte's sister, 'cause there was no way of knowing she wasn't there.
And I think that's how it would've been for Val after the first one, if you'd done any different. For Lotus. For Azalea. Maybe even for you and Cinth. For Brocade and everyone who loves Velveteen. And...even for me. There wasn't any way out of that one without hurting me. That's just how it was.
