[In case Smoker hadn't realized yet that Ikki has the habit of being harder on himself than on others.]
I've killed people, I have pierced chests with my own hands and grabbed their heats even when they were still beating. I've thrown many people to a nightmarish death, and they didn't deserve it. They weren't bad people, they were just fighting for the people opposing us and I killed them... Some may have been assholes and probably some of them were just rotten souls, yes, some were... But not all. All they did to deserve it was to stand on the side of someone who wasn't Athena.
[He snorts.]
I don't even really care about that woman, yet I kill for her. Tatsumi should have killed me as I told him, rather than just leave me half dead when he sent me to training.
[Action]
