The decision to attack and kill Jack and potentially sacrifice our lives in the process wasn’t binary, I told myself. It wasn’t limited to two options. I would try to save the people I could tonight.
Hm, what sort of third option do you have in mind here?
Then our teams could collectively prepare to do something about Jack and the other Nine, after we were all ready to defend ourselves.
Ah! Makes sense. She’ll untie the people on the short track and enlist their help to stop the trolley while it’s going down the long track.
As much as a small part of me wanted to make the heroic sacrifice, I couldn’t throw away my life for the mere chance to kill him, and I definitely couldn’t throw away the lives of others.
Fair enough. That is a somewhat different story than if it were a certainty.
