Ace could hardly believe that the discussion had reached such heights. He'd been trying to keep an eye on Tear's efforts - in case she was able to shed some light on the potential consequences of their choice, though mostly, it was out of concern for her own well-being. After all, the longer he had listened to the discussion, the less likely it seemed that the Heroes were capable of shouldering the weight of the solutions they offered.
"So much might go wrong before we even arrive at the point such a decision could be made. Letting her die isn't merely a precaution - nor it is an act of malevolence like some of you have grown to see it." There were many Heroes who he wanted to direct his words to, but it so happened that he looked at Ramza in particular. The entire concept of holding Palitutu hostage seemed no less cruel than what she had been subjecting them to, all these months. Calling the solution merciful smelled of hypocrisy, at best. "It means we're able to embrace this reality and move forward."
"I don't think revenge is on anyone's mind right now...," there was a short pause, "... at least those acknowledging the gravity of the situation." Nothing about it felt like victory, even if the likes of Deadpool evidently thought otherwise.
