i hope you're right. i do. i love a good redemption story.
[ Plus, it would mean there wouldn't be a horrible looming threat for Finn, and Poe, and the rest of the Quarantine. Cisco cares about that much more than about this Kylo guy, himself. ]
i get you. but being good means being good even when people are pushing your buttons not just when it's easy. if he wants to reform or whatever he's gotta learn that, or else none of it matters.
[ Grown men ought to know better than to throw temper tantrums, after all. If Rey was able to convince him that his more loathsome beliefs were wrong, it still wouldn't matter, if he keeps an explosive temper and ends up hurting people regardless. ]
can i tell you something? what ifs don't matter. maybe you would have. maybe you wouldn't. circumstances can mess people up bad but at a certain point it's your responsibility the person you are nobody starts off bad but if you're talking about kylo ren (i mean obviously you are) he's not, like, a kid? he's a grown up, and at some point no matter how shitty your shitty past you gotta look at it and say okay, that happened now who am i gonna choose to be. you know?
