he just nods and accepts all that. it does look cruel. even if a tornado of axes is something that could happen to anybody?
but no, even if they didn't mean to be, what they did was still terrible and mean, and he accepts that. the hurt people suffered was real, and he has too much empathy not to believe that. that guilt doesn't like, stop what they have to do—but everyone is free to think of them as they will. they deserve to be upset.
he looks more uncertain about how to approach team A, but... that's something they can talk about later. ]
I don't. She wouldn't elaborate.
[ he sighs. ]
Maybe we'll learn more this Thursday. It's hard when we don't know who we could be looking for.
[And they knew that. Which is part of why this hurts too, honestly. They'd known some of his own team's worries and fears, and gone ahead and acted anyway--and taken someone precious from them in the process.
He'd meant it when he said he understood. But understanding isn't the same thing as being content with it. Logic and emotion are two completely different things, after all. And he would much rather have accepted this than to have it thrust on them in the aftermath, even if it's obvious why they didn't say anything.
It's just... messy. The whole thing is messy. Not for the first time, Kaveh wishes more people here were cruel, ruthless, cunning. Maybe then he could hate them and go on his way. (He couldn't. He's never been that way.)
He sighs, lifting a hand to press the heel of his palm against his forehead.]
I'm going to talk to Aika myself, tomorrow. [Gently, but firmly. It's not that he doubts what they're saying--but he needs them to understand that trust has been damaged, even if he fully intends to stand by his promise not to out them.] If there's anything you think I should ask her, please tell me.
