You don't get to talk about me like you understand.
[His tone is carefully neutral; Hakuno is treading on very shaky ground, but he tries to put his thoughts into words anyway.]
I don't really care about what happened to you, or who you happened to kill. You would have died if you hadn't killed them, right?
[It's not anything to be proud of, that's for sure, but...]
Sitting here feeling sorry for yourself is the same thing as insulting them, insulting me, and insulting my Master. You have a lot of nerve to sulk like this when you killed all of us for the sake of your own survival. I mean, I know I'm not worth the effort, but if you really care about those kids, then shut up and get over it. They didn't die just so you could throw a goddamn pity party.
[Bite your tongue and keep going, even if it's the most miserable experience of your life. Once someone else's life is on your shoulders, you can't afford to feel sorry for yourself anymore.
Robin's first victim was the man he'd been, so maybe that's why it's easier for him to detach himself from the people he killed. Maybe he just got used to it, maybe it was because never having any meaningful relationships meant he didn't think too hard about permanently snuffing out other people's. Whatever the case, this is probably the only advantage he has, from an emotional standpoint.
It's really, really easy not to feel anything at all. Not for himself, and not for the girl sitting at the edge of the pit.]
If you were just going to end up like this, you should have let me kill you.
