Genis couldn't imagine his heart ever hardening enough to be prepared to send someone to their death. He couldn't. They would always be people. Raine was important, and so was Martel and Mithos, but saying it was okay for some people to die was what humans did. It was never okay.

Until then... He shook his head and tried not to think of what he was agreeing to. "...No, you pick."
