"Me? A marine? Wow, that must have been interesting. I really don't see how in the hell I could have become a marine. Bet I was a stuck up shit head..." Ace mused ruefully. Honestly that logic threw him for a loop. How in the hell could he possibly have ever become a marine...at any point?! Either way, that was beside the point. He had more important things to worry about.
"Is that why Thatch left the night I arrived? Because he knew I was going to die or had already died...and he was angry because I couldn't avenge him? I really fucked up Marco. And worse yet I got Pops killed. I don't deserve any kindness from you or Namur or Thatch. Not after what I did. I failed. I let the enemy win and the family down. Why would you ever even consider making ME your captain? I would just get you all killed or worse."
He set his cup down and hung his head in his hands. "I'm sorry Marco." He whispered as he broke again. Tears falling once more as the hatred for himself built up and bubbled out. Apparently he wasn't dealing with this as well as he thought he was. "I'm sorry I destroyed our family."
