Probably not. I knew that by leaving him here, I might be leaving him here to die, but the chance of him surviving anyways was pretty slim. Besides, bringing him would slow us down, and I wasn’t sure we could afford that.
That is true.
I shook my head a little, as if it could cast away the layers of little justifications and excuses I was putting together.
At least she recognizes her rationalization.
I was searching for a rationale, a reason to leave him behind. Also, maybe, I suspected I was trying to give a reason to the fact that I had almost no sympathy for the man.
I mean… when all this started out, I think I made it pretty clear that I didn’t have much sympathy for just about anyone in the ring who was at this meeting in the first place by their own volition and with full awareness of what it was (the last thing is the point Bryce gets off on, and I don’t have that much more sympathy for him either). To be fair, at the time I didn’t expect it to get quite this gruesome, but still.
I really don’t care for most of those injured or killed in this.
I feel like this says a lot about how thoroughly unsympathetic Wildbow has made this group.
If I was going to leave him there, I’d own up to what I was doing.
This is a good development, though. Taylor is realizing her tendency to rationalize things and taking a conscious step to being more honest to herself.
