I will not go gentle into that good night.

I know you all have good reason to hate me now. I won't expect sympathy.

But if all I can do is voice my concern, then I'm going to do that at least. Something seems very, very wrong, and it has to do with Vayne. It's only worse now than ever. Before, I feared that he might become a threat-- I knew it with mortal certainty-- but now, I know

I don't doubt that it has to do with Vayne, sensei. He's feeling it, too, and right now it seems like you two are the only ones who are. Whatever else that means, I'm sure it means he's involved. I'm saying you need to separate the fact that something is happening because of Vayne from the idea that Vayne needs to be destroyed. We don't even know what's happening; just that he hurts, and you do.

Is that really worth destroying him over? Is that really cause enough to be able to say, in good conscience, that Vayne needs to die? You wanted rid of him well before this happened, sensei, well before anything ever went wrong because of him. And you had no reason to think that other than your own personal feelings.

I admit it; I would be deeply saddened if Vayne were gone. He's a beautiful soul, and I'd hate to see that taken from the world; and yes, he's my friend, and I'd be sad to lose a friend. But if it really were the case that the world was in danger from him, I'd never put one life before all of the world. I just can't believe that we really do face that threat.
