Trust is a choice. If you don't trust Kratos, then there's little point in proceeding. Consider two things, however.

Kratos didn't have to tell you any of this. He could just as easily have stopped with the details about Cruxis. Chance resemblances happen.

[Yuan shifts a little, angling himself away from Kratos. This isn't moral support. This is a matter of trust and practicality.]

Losing everything can break a person. What do you do when all your hope, all your reason for trying, is taken away?

[He unfolds himself long enough to wave one hand, as though to put all that to the side.]

Again. I'm not excusing anything. The sooner you understand how we came to be as we are, the sooner we can move on to doing something about this world. That's all.

[He sounds as disinterested as he can. Distance is the only thing that's letting him talk about this, really.]

[Sheena shifts uncomfortably.]

Hey, I'm in the middle of changing sides too.

[She knows not all of them trust her yet -- the Professor in particular has a way of eying her -- but Lloyd and Colette were easy enough with it.]
