Dave looked at Rika as Ellie pointed to her. And he thought very well, he remembered about his loss, about his past...
"I didn't mean to... all I want to say was.... *he looked again at Rika, then at Ellie with a deep regret* damn it... i blew it..."
He shaked his head..
"We need to assure the evolution of humanity by disposing ourselves of certain obstacles. A human's life is more pretious then any technological advancement we can get, especially the innocent lives. I am not a soldier, I am scientist, I go after my logic, but I have emotions... personally I couldn't sacrifice an innocent for what ? New toys we can play with ? Never !"
"Faith dies the last... true, but in these times, faith hardly prevails, and why ? Because of what we do... conflicts after conflicts... But that's why we all exist, to make "order" in Sirius."
He stands silent... then he saids with a sad tone...
"Each time Cerberus does something, I always think of my parents... If they will be in danger because of what I do ... That means sacrificing them for some principles. I couldn't accept it.."
He looks in the ground, very serious and a bit sad. He was wondering...
He noticed Ellie was crying, he forgot about everything and went to her.
"Hey what is it ? It's a difficult matter but..."
He put his hand on her shoulder.
"Oh come here..."
Then he gently took her hugging and patting her.
"It's ok... I'm here... take it easy."
