"I've known some real honorable fools in my life, of which the Headmaster definitely counts as one. People who put their desire to be a good person above all else, including the consequences of their actions." I gather my thoughts for a moment before speaking again. "Doing the right thing doesn't absolve you of the responsibility for what happens next. Rather than think of good and evil, I prefer to think of actions and consequences. Doing the honorable thing might make it easier to sleep at night, but it also makes it easier for dishonorable people to stab you and the people depending on you in the back. Sometimes being responsible means having a guilty conscience for the sake of other people's lives. That's the real mantle of responsibility that's been thrust upon you; you can't just make decisions for yourself when your actions dictate the fate of everyone in Britain."
