You wanna save people. Five wants to save people. We all want to save people. I get it.
I had a weird, weird conversation with Hux about this Fives stuff, months ago. Ultimately as shitty as it is, Fives is doing the same thing as Kylo, returning to his own time, trying to save people. Okay.
And maybe it's because you're a general or whatever. And you are doing your research, and somewhere in that you get away from just focusing on the people you're going to save, and it becomes like--
Weighing up what's worth burning so you get the ending you want the most.
And everyone in history who's ever done that has been able to justify it to themselves, but if you're telling yourself that you're on the side of the angels, and anyone who disagrees with you is complacent and apathetic--
I don't know what I can say to wake you up from believing that.
