It IS an afterthought! It's not a question of what you can do, it's a question of the potential you're squandering!
Without the Bastion, there are FOUR people who would have survived.
Me. Paarthurnax. Crona. And Ragnarok.
Two of them are dead now. You're only mourning one of them. I think me and Paarthurnax are the only ones who even knew Ragnarok existed. Gods, is it any wonder that Ragnarok was such an ass?! Nobody gave him a fair shake, nobody treated him like a person!
And you're STILL doing that! You wanna complain about things not being good enough for me?! About me not thinking we're all in this together?! You look at Ikuri and you see a monster! You keep treating her like that, and she's only ever going to be a monster!
She probably hadn't SEEN another person that didn't try to kill her before she wound up here! She watched one of the only people who she'd been able to talk to die in front of her. Her life is VIOLENCE and she's terrified. And you're treating her like she's a liability instead of someone who needs help!
[He gives her an angry, accusing point.]
And you think that I'm doing what I do because I like it? Because I want you people to be less than me? I've got problems of my own you self-centered twit. I can't interact with polite society without having handlers. I can't understand people, no matter how hard I try! I am MENTALLY BROKEN and there's nobody here that can fix that! But I know that, and still I try!
Nobody will follow you because they don't trust you! Nobody will follow me because they don't trust me!
WE. ARE. FUCKED.
Because we can't get our acts together and LISTEN to each other!
