( A shrug as he toys with his glass. ) Perhaps I could have come back from massacring the village. It is not unheard of for Jujutsu Sorcerers to be pushed to the brink of a mental break. Having to protect and defend people from the products of their own misery with no stopping, losing your friends and your loved ones and not being allowed the space nor time to mourn, because the war marches ever on? That takes its toil. We are not infallible. But I did not want to go back. I did not want to be beaten back into the shape I'd burst free from.
( A hum. )
I'd always been filial, you see. Respectful. I'd been the good one. What better message than to throw all that aside? It worked. No one tried to reach me. They decided quite quickly on my fate. Though I hear they've gotten prone to ordering executions since me. Maybe I set a trend! ( He laughs, a little sharp. ) I don't regret it. They didn't understand me anyway. Nobody did.
