[...Okay, that. That's kind of above his pay grade, literally. He's been a mercenary since he was a kid, this doesn't feel like something he should be trying to answer -
But okay. Okay. He just kind of goes quiet for a bit, trying to sort that out.]
I don't think it's not normal? I come from somewhere that not killing them is just giving them an invitation to come back stronger and kick the world's ass. Camilla's the same way. Sometimes you've got to kill people because they're too far gone - they aren't going to come down, and they aren't going to stop. Or maybe they can't stop and you need to put them out of their misery. It's doing everyone a goddamn service at that point, including them.
[And as soon as he's said it, his thoughts shift to that fucking base in China, to holding a gun to that asshole American's head, to how Albert Wesker was one of those people who couldn't stop but it suddenly wasn't okay when it was Wesker, was it - ]

...Sometimes the bad people that need to die have someone that still thinks they're worth something, you know? Even if they're not, even if they're too far gone, there's still going to be someone who gives a damn about them and wants them to come back and be a normal person. And I think Cynthia's kind of like that for Cyrus right now.
