If you had someone you love in a land where you're not welcome, would you go to them? What if they were in trouble, and what if you knew you might have a chance to save them. Would you go? How would you feel if you couldn't find them? Would you stay if you had the ability to hide?
If given the choice, would you side with the few innocent amongst the guilty, or kill them all for what treating you and your kind horribly? Even after living with them and learning about them, growing more knowledgeable of their intent and motive, and each individual. Does it matter? What if your creation, the thing about to kill you, handed you the means and the choice? What would you choose?
