[He glares down at Peter as if the man is an errant child that's been caught up a tree and is now blaming the tree for the stains on his clothes.]
It's by supporting everyone who's been hurt by these things, and not turning on each other like animals. I'm sorry about what happened to Quark and Luna, and all the other people who have been killed or hurt here, but it's whatever is behind the town that deserves the payment for all that hurt. You might get caught in it one day and not be able to break free, you want everyone else to look at you and say that you didn't fight hard enough?
[He doesn't usually speak all this much in one go, even now, but this is kind of a personal issue for him.]
Quark's traumatised, Luna probably will be if she comes back, but you're forgetting that so's John. He has to live with the memory of watching his body hurt people, he'll always see that blood on his hands. You really want to add to that because you're so arrogant to think that you, and only you, are strong enough to break free? Because if you're gonna blame John, then you need to blame everyone else too, I don't doubt that over half this place have hurt or even killed someone they didn't want to, this case isn't unique.
