"Emotions blind us more than we can imagine."
As Kuzon said these words, his gaze grew softer and his tone much lighter. He seemed to regret raising his voice, but couldn't mouth an apology.
He was just... so upset.
The result of this was another tense silence. Neither Kuzon nor Aloe knew what to say next. As a result, the room rang with decorum.
"Why are you expecting the worst?" Aloe's voice finally rescued them from the abyss of silent awkwardness.
"I will admit there's a possibility that Neron can't be trusted, but it's just... it's hard to believe that. How are you so comfortable imagining the worst about him?"
"Because it's never good to see the best in people." Kuzon responded, his tone firm and his gaze stern.
"Not everyone has a justifiable reason for their actions. Not everyone needs a noble cause to do bad things. Some people are just fucked up."
Memories of his biological father coursed through his head, but more importantly, the destruction of his people.
