I'd figured that I'd be 'kicked out' of the group, eventually. I just didn't think it'd be over so soon.

The others weren't like me, I remind myself. Time and time again, I have to remind myself of that fact. They weren't anything like me.

They'd insisted on going one way, but that way was wrong. That way was always wrong. So I told them about the other path. The path that lead to a better result.

They didn't think the same way that I did.

They told me that I was wrong. Told me that I was being cruel, that I wasn't doing what was right.

But they were my friends. At the time, they were my friends. So I trusted them, admitted that I was wrong, and followed what they said.

It ended well, I think. Of course, we could have had a much better result if we went through the path that I had suggested earlier. I knew this. I pointed that out to them, but they only got upset.

So I shut my mouth.

There were more roads to take, more paths to choose. I always ended up having to follow what they said, because they said it was the better path.

They were wrong, of course. I'd point that out to them, but they'd only get mad at me.

I kept doing this, until one day, it just.. didn't seem to be right anymore. I felt like that one time, I absolutely had to go down that road, no matter what they said.

It led to a much better result than our previous efforts. A much, much better result.

But they were upset. Why were they upset?

Yes, it was a cruel thing to do, but it was for the greater good, wasn't it?

Didn't it lead to a better ending?

I tried to explain myself to them, but they wouldn't budge. I tried to tell them that there was something at the end that would be affected by our decisions right now, but.. apparently, they'd had enough of me.

So they kicked me out.

I left.

And I haven't seen them since.

I miss them, sometimes. They were fantastic people- brilliant people. I loved them.

It's too bad we had different definitions on the words 'good' and 'bad.'


A/N: don't mix World Domination How-To with the Trolley Problem with me. Don't do that.

'Cause then you'd get this. :I

i don't even know what's happening tbh

keeping the narrator ambiguous, 'cause it could apply to anyone.
