Calling it something so grand as 'saving the world' wasn't technically untrue.
Even if the reason I was doing it wasn't for such a righteous thing, it couldn't be denied that that was in fact one of the consequences.
After all, it's not like I was ever someone who particularly cared about something like that in the first place. Just because I gained some weird position and became strong, doesn't mean that changed.
From the very beginning, this was just a job, right?
With the nature of things, it's not like there was any other path it could have gone down.
"I'm going to kill John Pierce. Once I do, please stop climbing the Tower."
"..."
"This is the only way to maintain peace."
Truthfully, I didn't expect nor wish for these two to follow along with what they could have only seen as abrupt absurdity from me, accepting everything I said and coming to help me.
I just wanted them to hear what I had to say, even if some, or all of it was admittedly beyond belief.
