"All living creatures want to survive. It's only natural, for all of us. To go against that... it doesn't feel right. It grates on the senses in some way. But in a situation like this... this... It may be the one time that making such a decision is the only rational choice."

He thinks about the stories of what Orsino had done, all that he'd heard about it. "Who knows what runs through one's head when finally about to act upon that decision. Who... knows... But, I for one wouldn't advocate taking out anyone else at the same time. That part was going too far."

Kain sighs, closing his eyes, rubbing at his forehead for a moment as he listens to the whispers. Are they getting louder? Worse? Or is that just his imagination? Might that be a good way to make the judgment? The whispers have been a low, constant thing, but the moment they worsen or change... Maybe that's the time to act.

"You're right, everyone must know. They must have enough knowledge to make their own decisions on the matter. The revenge the Venatori take might be terrible... they must be aware of what consequences could befall them if they choose to remain alive." Kain has definitely been taking care to... more or less be compliant, for the sake of the others, especially Max, who seems to be their leverage for keeping them in line. With others' lives and well-being at stake, it's harder to act out. But eventually, something's got to give. "Of course, it can always... be worse, if we don't take this action. I might be turned against you, and there's no telling when that could happen. It could be sudden, without warning. I want to remain in my right mind at the end... that's all I want."
