...When I was an Executioner, I killed many. I killed moondwellers. I killed skydwellers. I killed monsters and beasts. They all were the same to who I answered to. And I didn't want to...think about it. I buried them all, regardless of who they were.

[Soul after soul, reaped by his scythe. Mother, fathers, children. Over and over again.]

So I don't...want to be put in that position again. To eliminate meaninglessly. Fireflies should not die...simply because they are fireflies and not ants. If there is anyone to be eliminated in this war...let me stand as shield. And I will die in their stead.
