Or how about Chaol: loses the person he loves because he knows she has bigger responsibilities than to be with him, turns against the king he had pledged his life to serve, his best friend became a mindless demon, is pretty much disowned by his family for becoming the captain of the guard in the first place BUT HE STILL WANTS TO FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE HE CARES ABOUT SO PLEASE TAKE YOU CHAOL HATE SOMEWHERE ELSE
I want to share my life with you, and that means today, and the future, and all of my past, if you want it. If you want me.
