<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Holds out a hand and flicks a virtual cube away*
There's always the chance to turn back.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Sure. But when not making a choice hurts everyone, instead of just some? Not an option.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Do you try to hurt as few people as you can, then? Is that your goal?

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Nods*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Very... utilitarian. I completely understand it though.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I’m… I'm glad you can at least understand. More than most are willing to concede.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Why is that not enough for most everyone else?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Most people see someone with an ability that can do damage so easily, and will think you wasteful if you aren’t using it to leverage change in the world at all times.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Half of my face twists in confusion*
That's... a strange sort of reaction. Why?

<Snipped quote by Host>

You ever heard anyone say something along the lines of “inaction is just as bad”?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Not in the way those people are using it.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Shrugs*
You choose not to take part in the famous trend of attacking bad people, and you’re seen as enabling.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Glances to the left, then to the right without moving my head*
That is what you're doing right now.

<Snipped quote by Host>

What? Fighting a bad person?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

In effect, no?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Right now, yeah. But I don’t get actively involved like this hardly ever.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

But it shows you can, if the time calls for it. So why do they complain?

<Snipped quote by Host>

That’s it. That’s just it. Guess I just don’t do it enough, for others’ liking.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

What makes you keep those sorts of relationships around?

<Snipped quote by Host>

It’s not relationships I have. It’s lingering opinions of having family who everyone knows. Dad’s a… Big name in a lot of places, even if he really doesn’t indulge in any kind of celebrity spotlight. We hear a lot of speculation about “What if his kids were as selfless as him” kind of talk, just for existing.
