First off...I've fought a dragon before. This one was like the ones I have back home. Stopping its breath attack is essentially the same as stabbing it in the lungs. It might not have died but it would have been critically injured. Enough so that anyone else could have finished it.

Second...no, I don't regret that. Winning by sacrificing someone isn't a win. No victory is worth the price of one life.

[He shifts uncomfortably.]

They're both my friends. The dragon and the guy I saved. I wanted to save them both but...that selfish decision cost all these people everything...

At the end of the day, I won't back down from my principles.

But I'm not going to shirk my responsibility either...

These people deserve the chance to...I dunno. They deserve justice.

At least if I admit what I did to them...they can judge me themselves.
