...Is there a reason to consider the possibility you're not human?

[ Supposedly the labels had taken people of all kinds. Who knows what limits there are if any on what type of people had been targeted. ]

A fellow doesn't have to be human to be a person.

Trust me. Monsters are made in actions as well as deeds. And some people don't... even exist.

[snapcrackleburn]

[ Roy sits in the chair and leans forward, speaking in a low slow voice. ]

I haven't told anyone this but some of the memories that have returned to me have revealed terrible choices and terrible things that I've done with my power. I know monsters can be made. It turns out, I've been called one before.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Okay. And were ya the size of this building, traveling the world and destroying everyone you touch?

[Jecht's problems are on a literal other level from moral troubles and questionable choices.]

[snapcrackleburn]

[ He doesn't respond immediately. What a terrible memory. Jecht's denial is understandable even more now. ]

No. I was destroying entire buildings with a simple snap of my fingers. Burning civilians from my own nation where they stood. My commanders called me a hero but I was truly a monster.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

...Shit. Ain't a picnic either, man. If you believe it.

[snapcrackleburn]

[ Roy nods his head in silence. ]

...

Do you remember any loved ones who would be back in your world waiting for you?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

There's no going back.

[The absolute finality in his voice says it all. Even if he went back to -- whatever is waiting there, his family's gone. Lost.]
