Out Loud
[Jake doesn't get up from where he's seated next to Emmy, but hearing this fills him with anger to the point where he can't help but speak up.] If you can say that, you've obviously never been in a situation where you don't have a choice. Sometimes you have to kill to save yourself, or to protect something worth saving. I won't say that killing doesn't change a person, because it does, but sometimes it's necessary for the greater good. Besides, I've long since crossed that line. I'm responsible for the deaths of thousands of sentient creatures, dozens of which were my allies and and several of which were my close friends and family. I already live with that knowledge every day.
