It was originally his idea to slay Griffith, not yours. Though unlike you or the silver eyed, Guts has no proud, magician heritage to speak of. No magical prowess to protect him, no royal or aristocrat ancestry to give him a base as to how the world should be.
No. He always came from the dirt, and relied on his own humanity to strive and escape the clutches of the dark lords. And though his efforts are commendable, humanity is as failed in it's motivations as it's species. He would not be standing here today were it not for the friends he consistently pushed away out of guilt and fear from not dying along with them. And with that, you remember that no matter how distant you two are from each other, he is as much of a kindred spirit with you as Merlina was.
You curse yourself, remembering how your lack of faith now also has a chance at affecting your odds. Could it be that by briefly not believing hi, you have already fated Guts to a premature end? Will you let your fear of killing another brother in arms dictate whether or not someone is worth saving?
