On the mun's readthrough of the Clone Saga

[unobtainableredemption]

Hey, do us both a favor and leave my past where it is. There's nothing I want to relive there.

I don't care what Aracely thinks, thinking of Reilly doesn't make me want to be a better man, it just reminds me of what a monster I was...

am.

[Evan can't really argue with that.]

I think I don't want to accept too much of it or give up too much innocence. The teachers fight hard and sacrifice a lot so we don't have to.

[unobtainableredemption]

Then they're fools.

[greatestheroever]

They just want to protect us. We're kids. We shouldn't have to ... it's no good growing up all at once.

[unobtainableredemption]

[He takes a deep breath.] I've never been a kid. I wouldn't know.

[greatestheroever]

Oh. I'm sorry.

But you know, um, Aracely seems pretty innocent too. Isn't that nice? For her?

[unobtainableredemption]

Don't be. I've made my peace with what I am a long time ago.

Aracely... [Snorts.] That's all Aracely. I hide nothing from her [Even if that wasn't his personal policy, attempting to do so would be an exercise in futility.], and she already knows the worst society has to offer. And she still acts like that.

[greatestheroever]

Well ... I don't think that any of us are ignorant about what the world is like. So I don't think it's bad to be a bit innocent, like that.

And I kind of miss being innocent.

[unobtainableredemption]

[He'd never knew that feeling.]

Sorry kid, I'm not used to being on the side of angels. I've seen far too many people like me take advantage of kids like you.

[greatestheroever]

If Logan thought you were that bad, he wouldn't have helped you.

[Shows the barest hint of a smile.] Or I forced his hand. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, as the saying goes.
