[He understands the man pain, though. But he's not sure Won really cared about any of that.]
Mm. This whole time, I think everyone always thought - what happened to us must have been cruel, and terrible. But where we were, it was just something that happened before we woke up and were able to see everyone. It wasn't. . . as sad as all of that.
Because they went behind my back to make sure I wouldn't be called upon. Because none of my friends thought I could handle it, so they never even told me he was splintering. The teammate who did it lied to my face.
And because... of the way I found out, and saw him, because of the mockery they ended up making....
[It sounds like a lot of drama, but also, if Zuko expected Emet-Selch to be a nice guy, that seems like a him problem. Mob doesn't think that, though. He legitimately feels bad for him for this.]
. . . I don't think it's bad, if killing him wasn't something you could have done. But it's not right to make that choice for someone else.
[ nah it's all his friends that plotted with emet-selch and covered for him that he's upset with. es is a dick he has no illusions there. ]
... Yeah. I understand wanting to protect people from that. That's the reason I volunteered to do it, I saw how hard it was for... the people who had already been asked. But I wouldn't take away someone's choice.

[It really was pretty nice, actually.]
no subject
At least there was no murder.
no subject
[Even though. . . ]
You. . . helped Ruler-san, though.
no subject
[ not even going to hide it. ] I would have... Soo-Won... it was supposed to me, too. It just didn't work out that way.
no subject
[Oh.]
. . . I understand, because she was splintering, but do you really think Yona-san would have wanted that?
no subject
He splintered the next week. It was supposed to be my job to take care of someone splintering.
[ fucking awkward. ]
no subject
Hmm. Patting him on the arm. The non burnt arm, Satan]
I think. . . any person who cares about you would never want you to have to go through something as awful as murdering them.
It was probably kind to Won, that someone else did it instead.
no subject
It wasn't kind to him at all. They basically made a joke of it.
... It doesn't matter now. You're all safe and back.

[ he shifts. it does ease his pain, to know that the other side was.... harmless. a lot of the same things, without the murder. ]
[ it helps to know, that they weren't suffering. ]
I don't know if I would feel the same way, if it had been me. But I'm glad.
no subject
[Even if jokes about dead bodies are also bad.]
no subject
... I suffered more, because of what happened.
no subject
Because they made it a joke?
no subject
And because... of the way I found out, and saw him, because of the mockery they ended up making....
no subject
[Well, that's a little different.]
They should have told you.
no subject
Yeah, they should have.
