Did I do good?
"Odin?"
"Yes?"
"I killed those men."
"Yes, you did"
"... Did I do good?"
"You did as I told you to. That was good."
"I'm glad I did it." Because it got me your attention.
---
"Solo?"
"Uhuh?"
"I stole from those men."
"That you did."
"... Did I do good now?"
"You got us food. Now we won't be hungry tonight."
"I'm glad I stole from those men." Because now someone else won't
have to.
---
"Captain?"
"Yes?"
"I betrayed those men."
"True."
"Did I do good?"
"You helped bring us victory. Look at how pleased the men are."
"I'm glad I betrayed them." Because for a moment they remembered
the boy with no name.
---
"Rashid?"
"Yes?"
"I left my father."
"You're a very brave young man."
"But it hurts. How did I do good?"
"Leaving someone you care about always hurts. But you followed your heart,
how can that be wrong?"
"I'm glad I left." Because now I have the chance to prove that I'm
more than just my father's son.
---
"Father?"
"Yes, my son."
"I argued with Meiran."
"I thank you for that."
"Did I do good? But we only argued!"
"You spent time with her. That's more than I could say before."
"I'm glad I did." Because your disappointment saddens me so much.
