We didn't get a chance to explain everything to the twins because they were too busy defending you and refusing to hear a word of it, so we told them to talk to Andersen and listen to the tape first for the whole story.
[He didn't really expect the twins to do it like they did but he supposes he should have. It's unfortunate it went the way it did but the important part is that they should have heard the real story by now.]
But... if you don't fully understand it, you're... no more in a better position than any of us to decide what's best for us. [God he hates this so much. He wants to cry and shout and scream and all he can do is breathe and try to force his words out, to stop hiding them behind the fear of hurting someone or causing a problem. He can't always stop people from being hurt. There's too much at stake for that.] We should be allowed that choice and you shouldn't slap our hands from it saying you know better, saying you're prepared, because none of you are, either. If it's raging against nothing and I wind up dead, well, at least I tried to find an alternative. I'd much rather be dead than to build a life on the sacrifices of everyone here.
