"He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster." It's a stupid fucking quote, and let me tell you why.

To fight a monster, sometimes you have to become one yourself in some measure. People like Sephiroth don't play by the rules of 'honor', they don't play fair, and they don't even take such concepts into account.

The perceived lack of honor you find in the methods we used are irrelevant. Because if you had chosen to go about it the 'right' way, then you would have either lost outright or simply have taken time in which Sephiroth could have done god only knows what.

I'm not saying I'm happy Diarmuid set that fight up the way that he did. I should have been the one to default to the underhanded method. But he wasn't wrong to do it when it comes to someone like that, and you should keep your fucking mouth shut about things you could never understand.
