"It should... it should matter to everyone. You gave almost everything to keep the world safe..."
But safe wasn't profitable apparently. He shook his head, still looking towards the door, now worrying at his lower lip with his teeth as his mind ran through all those scenarios again, trying to find a way around them, trying to find a way to make it stop. That's what he was supposed to be good at, heading off the bad situations before they happened, saving the day, settling down emotions before they flared too high. All of his efforts, all of his skills seemed to be out of reach now... how was he supposed to stop this or protect Gabe?
What were they going to do for him? His reputation was less concerning to him, but if they were both traitors? "...how could we be traitors?" One or both of them. It was beyond him; he was gobsmacked by the sheer notion of it.
He tucked his hand against himself, almost throwing up from the all around situation. He held it down, even if his eyes continually went for the door. "Yeah we have each other, always will... but everything we've done, worked for... it's gone. I can't protect us anymore..."
