He flinched as Wing confronted him. His voice shook. "Wing. What better cause--what did you teach me, if not to lay down my life to protect others?" It was less a challenge than a question--what did he get wrong?
"Vandal's...," he couldn't bring himself to say it. Not right now. "I let her down. I should have been better, done better." And it was only a matter of time before he let Wing down, he figured.
"It won't matter what I remember. I don't have to. Everyone would see it." Oops, yeah, did he forget to mention that part? Drift wanted the whole thing broadcast on the Link. For educational purposes. "Look. I have to do something."
