Zarek had to admit that Suki's scheme was excellent. Crushing his own spirits was as easy as killing Priya. But killing Priya was a task all unto itself.
The difference between himself and Priya was that Zarek only had the one weak point to press on. He had no family, no kin, and his friends seemed to change from lifetime to lifetime.
