"I wanted something."
"That was your reason?"
"Yes."
"That's too simple."
An amused chuckle masked the true pain behind the words. "Oh? Have you ever wanted something so badly that you could almost taste it? That you dreamed about it?"
Silence. Then, "I've never wanted something so badly that I would betray my values."
Another chuckle, but it died unconvincingly in his throat. The Dark Ace looked over at Aerrow. He took in the earnest face and confident eyes. Eyes that were still innocent despite all they had seen.
"You see," he replied, finally, "I never did betrayed my values."
