... For what reason where you placed in such a position?

[He's not... upset, necessarily, but that is not exactly a scenario one just stumbles into]

[He means the position to decide whether to kill someone at all. Anyway, he thinks about that for a minute, choosing his words.]

Some people were trying to hurt me, and my brother, and my friend, and we weren't strong enough to stop them. I'm - my powers are stronger than either of them. My brother and Hanazawa-kun wanted me to stop holding back, even if it meant I might wind up killing them.

I don't want to kill anyone. . . but it isn't right to stand by and do nothing, either. . .

I see.

[Nodding in understanding now]

And you say you ran from the decision all-together?

[Nodding.]

That time, I was able to depend on my master. I'm grateful to him, but I wonder if that was really right. . .

... To depend on the one teaching you is not a crime.

[Chiron would feel like a hypocrite if he said otherwise.]

However, eventually you will have to make the decision for yourself. I'm sure you realize you cannot expect others to save you from uncertainty.

Yes. For a long time, I always relied on master, because it seemed to go better that way. But making decisions is important, too.

. . . I want to become able to do that.
