[Maybe he's doing it so Izana will blame him instead of Machina for the whole mess. After all, the other teen isn't here to defend himself. Or maybe it's because Ace already sort of blames himself anyway so what's what more person?
Until Izana and his brother came along, he hadn't really had the chance to ever feel guilty or blame himself for something. That wasn't how their strange family unit worked back then. Idly he wonders if this is how it always feels to have played a part in something horrible or if it's just because it's the first time.]
Most but not all of it. It's not like blaming the others anyway - most of them are dead. [Which leaves Ace to focus it all on himself. Hard to blame people who are already gone and forgotten.]
Mistake or not, intentional or accidental doesn't make much of a difference. [Not with this.]
If I don't fault myself for my actions, how will I learn from it? If I don't blame myself for what I caused, what will stop me from making the same choice again?
[Isn't that what it means to be human? To live with his mistakes and find a better way next time?]
