I imagine if you looked into the sad history of our world, Sheena, you'd find countless similar stories. People who react to a personal tragedy with rage and dedicate their lives to vengeance. And I can tell you now, in every one of those cases, if you could hear what those close to them whispered to themselves in the night, it would always be this.
"What could I have done differently?"
[She shakes her head, and sighs bitterly.]
No one would blame us, Sheena. No one would ever say that our failure to guide and raise them better led to what happened. It doesn't matter. Our own self-recrimination is always there. After all... what's the alternative?
