[There's a deep and heavy sigh. He really wants someone to hug him right now. But he won't ask. He's shook. And it takes a lot to shake him. But he has times when he's afraid he can regress backwards. That he's not healed from all the blood and fighting. Ten's voice is low and in a whisper. Korra can see the fear in his eyes.]

But I could be... I commanded The Ents here to kill the orcs. Months ago. Seeing my friend get slaughtered by them. I snapped.

I'm not human. And seeing her like that. With her humanity gone.

[Ten's eyes twitch. Korra might see that his brown eyes now seem to look like those below in space. The Doctor is remembering Cassandra. The first time as Nine. Nine didn't care. His voice is filled with caution]

I could be like her so much if I'm not careful.

I don't know. She wouldn't talk. Too much pain to talk. To reason with.

[He hates that she had to burn]

I want to help. I don't want to kill. No more. No more.
