Having to write everything that happened felt like a horrible responsibility sometimes, as if he were forced to be the witness for the world; how he put it down would be how it was viewed by future generations. How could he be fair about something like the Spire attack? Did he have to be fair? He looked up with surprise at the alarm in Jigano's voice at what he had said as a passing comment. "Oh, no.
