you double-posted this, jsyk!

...Dunno that I ever did, t'be honest with you.

I did my job. That's what I was made for, not thinkin' too hard about what happened when the job was done. But these last couple missions...

Rean hates what he's doing, y'know? I mean, he wasn't gonna be like, perfectly okay even without this anyway, but even when he smiles the light's all gone from his eyes now. And back home, I was like, okay, well. That sucks, but we can power through this n' bring 'im back, right? At least kinda?

...But then I showed up here. And now I gotta see what happens to the people on the other ends of those missions.

[She's still got that bittersweet smile, but she's not looking at him.]

Even if I wasn't there this time, I liked Mrs. Mitchell. Y'know? And I'm thinking there are a lot of people that stand in Gramps' way that maybe kinda deserve what's comin' to 'em, but there are a heck of a lot more who are just like her, tryin' to live their lives and getting trampled by somethin' bigger than them.

And I don't wanna do it anymore. I don't wanna make Rean do it anymore.
