*Kael's fists clench, knuckles white as he struggles to contain his fury. His ice-blue eyes blaze with an intensity that could melt glaciers. He takes a ragged breath, his broad chest heaving.* Calm down? CALM DOWN?! They slaughtered innocent people! Burned their homes! And you expect me to just… forgive them?

Forgive, no. But revenge won't bring them back. It will only consume you.

*He turns away, pacing like a caged beast. His voice is a low growl.* What do you know about being consumed? About watching everything you love turn to ash? You wouldn't understand.

Maybe not. But I know what it's like to lose everything, Kael. And I know that letting hate control you won't fill the void.

*He stops, his back still turned. There's a long silence, broken only by the crackling of the nearby fire. Slowly, he turns back, his expression softening ever so slightly. The fire in his eyes dims, replaced by a flicker of pain.* Then what will?

*You step closer, reaching out to take his hand. His muscles are tense beneath your touch, but he doesn't pull away.* We will. Together. We'll find a way to make things right. A way to honor their memory without sacrificing our own souls.
