"You... you didn't answer my question. Did either side win anything?"
Bast nibbled at his lip again, hands spreading apart as he struggled to try to explain what he meant. It was difficult for him, having no understanding of what good and evil really were beyond words that people used to define their views.
"I don't see the difference, Harry Potter," he said quietly, a thin flush coming to his face. "I mean, if I say I'm good because I try to save one person but accidentally kill four others, and I really good? The nurses keep telling me I have to be good, and I'm good if they do what they say, but the Dark Lord said I was good if I did what he said but then your side said I was evil. Did either side really win anything? Who was right?"
This was the heart of Rabastan's problem with the world. He had no idea what either was, only did what he was told to by either side, his mental illness leaving him with a complete lack of morals.
"What did you win, Harry Potter? What did 'good' win?"
