"Because." He exhaled sharply, glancing away for a long moment before returning his focus to Aya. If it didn't even really make sense to him, how was he supposed to tell someone else?
Because Weiss was important to him? Wasn't it to all of them, though? At least, it had been in his time. Because Weiss was all he had? That was certainly true for all of them. Weiss was a lethal unit. There wasn't room for outside attachments. Because it was his place to take those risks, since he was the one Kritiker had put in charge?
...Yeah, even he could see how well that particular argument would turn out.
Which meant he really didn't have a good reason. Not one that would convince Aya, at any rate. Except... "I don't want to lose anyone because of something I did."
