So you were aware. And heard your own voice saying those things, felt your own hands targeting others. Even though it wasn't you. Or your will.
And they're memories you have now, regardless of those facts. [ Scars he has to carry. And ultimately, as time goes on, ones he has to allow to heal as much as they can heal. Yzak knows how this goes. ]
Unfortunately, even those terrible memories and the nightmares they'll inevitably bring are part of who you are now, and where you decide to go from here. No matter where you do. I have those, too. Memories of terrible things I've done, only nothing was forcing me to do them.
I hate them. But if carrying them and acting with them in mind means that I can maybe prevent it from happening again, or happening to others, it will at least have been worth it in that regard.
So I can't tell you that it'll be easy or fun, because it won't be. Especially since you're still hardly out of it. But I can at least assure you that you won't have to face it alone.
... we won't let you, even if you wanted to. Which I hope you wouldn't!
