"What of free will? Are we only meant to be the puppets of our parents' desires? Nathan was such a puppet and would have sacrificed his brother to do what his parents wanted. His brother! The person left to him when his parents leave him as parents inevitably do. I could not sacrifice my sister like that and we are not as close as they are. It would kill me to do such a thing. Their ambitions, their plans would have killed Nathan as surely as Peter's explosion would have killed him." He writes "killer" in katakana. Somehow English doesn't make it look quite the same as "hitogoroshi". It makes it look as alien as he feels about it.
"Perhaps we are, but at least it is our choice to do so."
