[D33 isn't sure about all that, but he does tend to trust Shinigami's knowledge on the matter more than his own.]

When I left the society from which I came, I left her with it.

I likely wouldn't have been able to escape with her in tow. We both would have died.

[He's looking at that one literal situation as his first mistake. He doesn't see yet that his regrets have more to do with how he treated her in general than in the fact he left her to Royce's whims.]

It's better to die a free man than to continue living under the bonds of slavery.

Was that your thinking?

[d33tached]

No.

I wasn't thinking. I just had to go.

I can't explain it. Truly, I can't.

Survival isn't anything to be ashamed of in and of itself. It's our purest instinct.

But that doesn't mean it can't lead to regrettable decisions. One life for another. It isn't uncommon.

If it meant your survival at stake, would you reconsider? In order to spare her?

[d33tached]

Given what I know now, you mean?

[hellrisen02]

If you knew.

[d33tached]

Yes.

I was going to die on my own anyway. Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure that I haven't.

[Dead ImPorts come through all the time. He can't remember going anywhere while he was ported out for a month, and the last thing he remembers is blacking out in the woods, cold and hopelessly lost.

[He realizes he's probably never told Duo that before.]
