[ugh. he's heard this before. he snorts and rolls his eyes, slumping against the door again]
Choice, choice, choice. Everyone goes on and on about choice! Guess what?
It's hard to give people a choice when you don't trust them. And when those you do trust willingly offer you their support and help, only to stab you in the back later. Because-- surprise! We actually were gonna tell people, before Andersen opened his big, fat mouth.
[and at that, he levels his gaze on her again]
Andersen has already told me that if the dead are to be condemned to stay in this realm forever because of his actions, then so be it. Dirk has already told me that other people here have different values-- presumably, different values about whether harming another person in order to save forty-two souls is worth it-- and that I need to understand that in order to get why people are mad.
I do understand it, Akane.
[tilts his chin up defiantly]
Even if there are those who don't agree with us, I'm going to keep fighting. For everyone. So the loved ones of the people who have already passed don't have to know the pain of permanent loss again.
If I have to be a villain in order to make sure everyone here gets a happy ending, then so be it. I'll be that villain.
The other Hunters and I know what we're fighting for. Do the rest of you?
