[ Maybe if he'd stopped at willingly impersonate kidnap victims, Zack could've been persuaded to at least partially agree. But decimating villages on orders is something he's done, himself. Something he's watched happen, without making a move to stop it (without being able to).
And there's a lot to be said for who's giving the orders and how much in the dark they've kept the ones taking them, isn't there? Zack thinks so, at least. Which is why he shakes his head, taking a half-step back as his shoulders sag. ]
No. Not even them.
[ Despite his outward reluctance, his voice doesn't waver. He doesn't doubt what he's saying, even if he doesn't particularly relish saying it. ]
If blindly following orders is what turns them into monsters, then aren't we the same, if we do it, too? Of all the things I wish I'd known sooner... Maybe things could've been different.
