[ Cassian has never had children of his own but he doesn't have to to know in his gut that how her parents - both human and god - had treated her isn't right. He's only known children with hard upbringings, who had to survive by cutting their teeth instead of having any sort of normal childhood. Not being involved, not knowing what to do, thinking that having a child fend for themselves when there was and are other options, simply isn't good enough.

This only further proves to him that gods are careless. He he had been careless but that was why he had clung so desperately to humanity and desired to help them even if it was a helpless cause. They didn't deserve to suffer at the hands of those who thought themselves above consequences. Above responsibility.

In Cassian's eyes they had failed her. ]

That's not an excuse. Why have children if they aren't going to take care of them? To protect them?

[ He's sitting ram rod straight in his chair now. ]

You shouldn't have had to go through that on your own.
