[But Vash... doesn't sound like he believes that. He can't imagine changing how he feels. He can acknowledge where Wolfwood was coming from, can respect it, but he can't forgive it.]
He said that I'd never be the same, now that I knew. And he's right. But... [He pulls his knees up. The more pressure he applies to his chest, the less it feels like it hurts.]
I'll also never be the same, knowing he kept it from me. And it's so frustrating, because I know why he did it! But... [His presses his forehead to his knees.]
As much as I love him. As much as I love you. Or Nai, or anyone... I'll always love humanity more. If sacrificing my own peace might mean saving so many lives, I'd do it over and over again. That's always how I've been.
And if he can't accept that...
