Every week, I find a new reason to hate this place and these people more and more.
[ he lets the silence sit. he's not mad at strohl. he knows fairness and justice is very important to him. but he's not going to pretend anything is moral here anyway.
so that conclusion just gets a bitter little huff from him too ]
Yeah. That's the only thing that really matters about being here. Not a single one of us would be in this scenario if it wasn't for them.
[ eventually - there's a small smile to that. very small. ]
Sort of like - if your village was burned down for the sake of someone else's rise to power, you ought not burn down someone else's village for the sake of your rise to power and revenge. Seems pretty damn basic.

Yeah, pretty much. Plenty of people lead shitty lives and they didn't take it out on others. Life's about the choices you make when you can.
