Apocalypse

"What's with all the cheering over the apocalypse, anyway? Oh, yay, we get to kill poor helpless humans."

"The excitement over the apocalypse had nothing to do with humans."

"Could have fooled me."

"Humans are incidental."

"Killing and destroying an entire species is incidental?" I can't help but sound like I'm accusing him (Raffe), even though I know he wasn't part of the plan to wipe us out.

Or at least, I think he wasn't personally involved, but I don't really know that, do I?

"Your people have been doing it to all kinds of species."

"That's not the same."

"Why not?"
