this, asura thinks to himself, this is what nobility does.
it sounds to him as though gilia's people have, had..?, have obtained what asura strives for his own people. for all to live as equals, for none to go without. for all to protect the sick, the the young, the old, the weak. what would he do to someone who shattered that hard-won dream?
taishakuten will pay with his life, but taishakuten did not break something they already had. he'd simply turned his back on what asura thought they both believed.
he feels no sympathy for gilia's brother, but it is plain to him that his fate hurts her. were he not staring down the face of a future where taishakuten broken body lies in his arms, he would struggle to understand how anyone could feel such sorrow for someone who brought so much evil upon the world.
but he is, and so the understanding comes. ]
I'm sorry he did not know better, [ asura finally offers. ] And I am sorry he broke your heart.
