Everyone has a choice, Set. And they make it, for good or for ill.
[ "Or give them to us." He doesn't like the sound of that. He doesn't like the thought of being beholden to people willing to kill or harm people who have done nothing to deserve it. Whether they are real or not, the principle remains the same for him. He does not wish to harm people who have not harmed him or his people. Innocents deserve protection - he will not waver on that. And if Set and Hayame want to think he will agree with them, he'll allow it for now.
This is not the time to make a stand on it. He shrugs his shoulders, gaze a little distant as he turns away to regard the terrain and wonders where they're going next. What happens after all of this. He dislikes this 'war' that they fight. He dislikes being forced to participate in things he finds abhorrent - but there's nothing else to be done, is there? He will fight for what he thinks is right, when the time comes. And if that means crossing his blade with Hayame or striking Set down, he'll do it. There is right and wrong in the world and he knows, deep in his heart, which one he chooses. ]
Hayame is right. We can take the Prism now and secure it. If we really do mean to win this oracle, we should be careful about this. We have much more work to do and only a limited amount of time to do it in, it seems.

It is more productive to act than sit and talk.
