...He did. And Gerard and I had sort of similar thoughts about that, which is why I picked Lambda. It wasn't a matter of me thinking she was bad. Actually, I always sort of respected the people who were willing to fight for their lives. I thought Lambda was pretty cool. But...I also wanted to like - I dunno. There was part of me that also just wanted it to be a swimming competition or a decorating competition and to say we refuse to kill and hurt each other. So the people who were trying to play in a game like that, I wanted to leave them out of it and just compete against the people playing the same game I was.
I never would have chosen you, but when Gerard told me why, it was - it wasn't different from my reasons. I just liked you, that's all. But since I'd decided to win anyway, and since winning meant every other team would be erased, I felt like I had to swallow any regrets I had about who got hurt.
[...] But the rules changed, and it turned out that I think what we really needed over here were the people willing to fight hard. And those decisions led to a situation where one of the people I wanted to protect most wound up having to learn how to kill people.
I don't know what to take from that, I really don't, but I wish your team had had you and Most Moist M had had Lambda, because both teams needed you guys.
