That's not how that works.

[ his voice softens, at least. ] It never is.

Even if it was, we would've voted for someone who did nothing. Based on a popularity contest.

It still doesn't sit right. I don't think he would have done it intentionally.

No. And in the end, what we're asked to do here is to make a cruel choice - there is no abstaining. We have to make the choice that we can live with.

[ a pause, here. ] ...Or in this case, the choice he can live with. I wouldn't want to live with the guilt of it, if I were in his shoes, either.

[voidshift]

...well, I didn't want to live with condemning him for it. Not worth it.

It was easier with the other two.

[this one, though-- he doesn't need more things that badly.]
