[ it's fine, probably. he doesn't say anything for a moment, before nodding. ]
Teach would tell me you owe it to yourself more than anything not to forget you chose to take a life. Keeps your empathy in tact. It's when you start forgetting that you start changing for the worst.
I don't think you need to worry about that, though.
It wasn't always a decision I meant to make. What happened to me, what I am - it's not something I've always been able to control. When I get too angry, sometimes I do things I regret later.
But I made a decision that - if I have to be a monster, if I have to have done those things, I want it to mean something. I'm strong, and I can stomach things others can't, and that's something that people need sometimes. A Big Bad Wolf isn't a bad friend to have in your corner.
That's why I said I don't think you need to worry.
You've put more thought into that than half the people who pick up a gun and charge dollar signs to make a career out of using it. Teach would probably have liked someone like you, at lot more than most of the people she came across.
