[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.
