Glain folded his arms, his stern gaze sweeping across the group. "Now then... care to explain why you two were about to start a brawl in the middle of my city? You're adults, yet you argue like children."
Kevin scratched the back of his head, smiling sheepishly. "Uh... yeah, that was mostly my fault. Julian's angry because I made a decision on my own. I tried to save someone, someone we found trapped in the nest."
Glain let out a heavy sigh and shook his head slowly. "Kevin... your heart is in the right place, but you need to understand something. In times like these, you must choose carefully who can be saved, and who cannot. Your intentions were noble, yes. And I won't condemn you for that. But your naivety… it could endanger the entire human race."
Kevin's shoulders tensed, but he didn't look away. "I understand. And I accept that. But… I don't regret it. I'll take full responsibility for what happened."
