[Whatever Shiro was going to say to him, somehow Keith didn't expect it to be that. It startles him enough that he stops walking to look at him with wide eyes. There's a lot he has to take in there- because he hadn't considered that- Of course he hadn't.]

[Before he can really put serious thought into what he's saying, take in that number, holy shit, there's one thing he has to get out first. He swallows, shaking his head.]

Shiro, that's not the same. Not even close.

[ Shiro makes it a few more paces before he notices Keith's stopped. He turns around to face him, but it's only a moment before he averts his eyes. ]

It looks pretty similar from where I'm standing.

[ And there goes the rain. ]

[Oh, no you don't you shitcloud of gloom. Keith tries to reach up and waves it away for all the good it does him.]

No. Because you were forced into that ring against your will. You were fighting for your life, you didn't have a choice.

[Seeing as he can't do much for the cloud he settles back and looks at him, eyes narrowed.]

Kevin knew what he was doing. He made the choice to go out and kill those people for his wish. Maybe he wasn't thinking rationally at the time, and maybe he was grieving the people he'd lost, but he still did it.

[ Keith, you can't literally shoo away Shiro's bad feelings, that's not how it works. He appreciates the effort and all, but look, he brought this umbrella along for a reason. ]

"Kill or be killed" is still a choice. It's a lousy, unfair choice, but it's still a choice I had to make.

I don't think I made the wrong choice, and it's obvious that Kevin did, but... I don't think our motivations made much of a difference to the people we killed.
