"Satisfaction and joy are different things. You can feel satisfaction finishing truly thankless tasks," Red Son said. "Especially when you were dealing with something you saw as a doll. Because you didn't see it as Wukong, or MK, did you?"

"No, but that's part of the problem. I know heart games. I knew we were in MK's soul, that everything in there was him. And I still only saw that doll as an enemy to be snuffed out."

"And if you held back at all, it likely would have killed you," Red Son said.

"Even you said I was stupid for doing it. Wukong said it too." She'd have called it cruel more than stupid, but really it's both.

"Yes, it was. But you were also stuck in a situation and you had to commit to the actions you had chosen, or else it would just be worse overall," he said. "Just like many of my regrettable decisions. Too far to go back once I'd started."

"Be honest, you'd never have forgiven me if what I did had ended in MK getting destroyed forever."

"Never is a very long time," Red Son said. "And we have forever. And there's also the question if you could destroy him forever, because I am great at problem solving."

A pause. "Which I know seems like a non-answer. But the fact is, you are asking a difficult question that I can't give an honest answer to because I can't say what I would do unless I was in the situation. I know you, and MK as well, seem convinced I play favorites and you think its to such a degree that I would easily forsake one of you for the other, but that's not the case. That situation is a lot of intense emotions so I can't say how the chips would fall. All I know is forever can change anything."

[sangreine]

Definitely a non-answer.

"I'm not convinced you play favorites. I just know that what I did was that egregious. And I'm always doing things like that. You'd think I'd have learned to be more careful by now. I had no business being in that heart game at all."
