I know.

I accept your apology. No dirt for you this evening, it seems.

Trust us next time. Or trust Koby at the very least. Despite what you may or may not believe, there are people here who care about you, your little schemes included.

( he knows they care, of course he does. he feels it every day. but how much they care about him wasn't going to keep them all alive. )

Did he not show you the note I left?

I saw it but it upset him, upset the others.

You could have been hurt.

I know. Pragmatism always has a cost.
It isn't something I enjoy being.
But I recognize the necessity of it in certain circumstances.
I don't expect you or anyone else to agree with me.

( nevertheless, what's done is done. would he have made a different choice if he could do it all again? probably not. )
