Amazingly, Sasuke cares about him. Takaomi as well, possibly. He even wanted to find Fortune's killer, despite the fact that he didn't give a crap about most of the gods.

The most likely reason would be because he knew it was killing the two of them to not have caught them.

[requiemed]

Well, that's...

[After a moment, she sighs.]

Stupid. As if they're both much happier now.

[selfimmolates]

Based off what they said to me, Catra and Entrapta were likely going to keep killing. It wasn't a terrible idea to try and prevent that.

[requiemed]

I know you're not wrong, I just...

[She sighs.]

Is that who you were talking about, when you said someone was an idiot?

[selfimmolates]

When Connor revealed that my cookies were used, it obviously pointed to one of my allies.

[...]

To be honest, Zoe, I'm not sorry at all that they killed Catra and... sort of Entrapta. I pretty much asked them to in one of my letters, to begin with. I'm mainly sorry that they apparently did a sloppy job and got caught for what I should've accomplished last week.

[it's callous, but ray has never pretended to be anything but.]

[There's a lot to focus on there, but what she immediately gravitates towards is...]

Hey. This is not your fault, okay? None of it.

[selfimmolates]

Isn't it? They did it for me.

[requiemed]

They still made their own choices. And - blaming yourself for not taking her down with you isn't fair.

[selfimmolates]

I had the opportunity to.

[requiemed]

[She wants to argue against that again, but instead:]

Why didn't you?

[selfimmolates]

Because I made the strategically poor decision of trying to get away instead even though I figured Entrapta was waiting somewhere.

[requiemed]

[After a moment:]

You wanted to live. That isn't something to be sorry for.

[selfimmolates]

If I was going to die either way, it would've been better to take at least one of them down with me.

[requiemed]

You didn't know that you were going to before you tried to escape, though, right?

[selfimmolates]

Doesn't change the fact that I made a mistake.

[requiemed]

[After a moment passes:]

Yes, it does. Trying to live isn’t a mistake.

[selfimmolates]

[...

his face says he isn't convinced, but he won't say anything.]

[requiemed]

[She can tell from his expression, so she continues with:]

Would you be as upset with anyone else for doing the same thing?

[selfimmolates]

I'm not them and they're not me.

[requiemed]

Yes, I know that. That's why I'm asking.

[selfimmolates]

It's different.

[requiemed]

That's what most people with big double standards say, you know.

[selfimmolates]

Fine. Then I'd judge them too.

[requiemed]

[...]

I was really hoping that wasn't the answer you'd come to.

[selfimmolates]

Tough. It's the one you're getting.
