xliix - [Audio] except no, not really Arthas, you're doing it wrong
People always give terrible reasons for hating floods. "They were embarrassing." "I was a girl." "I wish people hadn't known that about me." Life happens. The only things floods can do that it isn't possible to have happened to you anyway is change you. Overnight, you become a completely different person. You want different things. Maybe you have a different past, or a different name. During a flood, there's no evidence that the person you were before it even existed. You're never completely normal again when it's over - the experience stays with you. Like a scar. Ideas are forced in your mind that weren't there before. The way you think altered a little bit, permanently. Eventually, you get completely twisted out of shape.
Inmates are here to be changed because the choices we made in life weren't good enough. [This is very mocking.] We were wrong. I'm here for someone to fix me, so I end up as someone who would have chosen differently - at Stratholme or in Northrend. Anywhere. I don't want that.
For better or for worse, the person I arrived as lived his life and undeath out, witnessed events and made choices that shaped him.His birth and the events of his own existence were the only thing that determined where he ended up. There wasn't someone who was deliberately coaching him and - [His voice gets stuck here, he swallows and continues.] - and shaping him. Who I became was my fault. My responsibility. I had a choice. I decided who I was, and I decided to risk my soul.
If you don't like who your inmate is, the truth is that it doesn't matter. They should be allowed to be their own person. Don't tell them that the life they lived was wrong because of how they lived it. In order to change what they would have done, you need to change them. Are you sure you want to do that? Is your deal enough to have it on your conscience?
[And here we switch Private to Tirion without even pausing.]
I want you to let me die, and then I want you to go home. I want to face the consequences of my own life, accept what I've done, and let the Light judge me for it.

You all do, of course. Inmates come and go. As long as we can be changed, you get what you want.
