"This is not about your 'honor' Guangyao. It is about the people causing you pain," No. He wasn't going to allow Guangyao to take all of the trauma onto himself. Not while he was here. Not when he could defend him and help him. Regardless he did stop, though, if only because that was what Guanguyao had asked of him.

Sighing out with impatience as he looked down at his dear friend. "You can't just say you made a mistake now when you just admitted to being hurt before. Even if it is giving revenge in your own way, what this place is forcing you to do is shameful!"

He stopped himself short, taking a shaky breath to calm himself down before bowing respectfully.

"I am sorry, sect leader. But it is not the actions and who you personally chose to do them with that I am upset about. It is the coercion involved. The thought that you are being forced into something that you most certainly would not have otherwise done if you didn't feel like you had to to survive here. And my anger is aimed towards those who cornered you in that moment of forced survival to use you for their own reasons.

I cannot forgive that."
