Save your husband from bleeding to death or save these six hundred, men, women and children, from me."

Kate's hands curled into a fist at her side, there was really nothing to talk about anymore. The man had clearly gone insane.
He pointed a finger at her fist. "That's a bad idea. Not only will I definitely kill those people on the train but now I'll go after your daughter too."
Her breath hitched, her thoughts sprang out into disarray. "Why are you doing this?! Aren't you a hero anymore?"
He gestured to myself, feigning innocence. "Of course, I am. I'm the original Paragon of Veltharion. I'm the definition of the word hero—"
"Then why the hell are you doing this?!" She cut him off. "What could this possibly accomplish?"
"You want to go for the next trial, right?..." His question lingered for a moment. "That's why I'm doing this... You're going to be the strongest hero in the world. So I'm trying to gauge you."
