Comrade I'm not going to tell you that you should use this power. Honestly, I want you to... keep your life. Keep your memories. [Your memories of him especially, but... Prefect shouldn't really be thinking that, so he averts his eyes and pushes his hands into his pockets.] Having someone else teach you to use your power without understanding what you were losing... I think that's an abuse, Comrade. I'm sorry, I know you don't like hearing these things about your family, but I think it's true, that makes it a curse.
Choosing to use it though? Knowing what you could lose, to do good? Comrade, that is a sacrifice. [Prefect studies the floor carefully for a moment, before lifting his eyes again, to look at Barron.] And honestly, Barron, I hope you never do it. I hope you stay selfish enough to actually take care of yourself when you get out of here, but if you don't then that doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't mean that you're destined to do bad things again, as long as you have a choice.
