It's not the same, and if you try to convince me that the you as you currently are and that guy are anything alike, I'm going to hit you and we'll both suffer again.

... I think intention counts for a lot. I don't think that guy was trying to help anyone, even if I don't know what he was aiming for at all. But his message when he hurt Ruin, the way that he acted once he got found out... It was cruel, and pointless.

And even if you could've ended up the same as him - you won't now, and I believe in that.
