Ah. No, I am quite taken by the change of scenery. [It's hard to take him seriously with the monotonous tone of his voice and his unchanging expression.] I have easily accepted my karma. There is no reason for me to despair. [Even a negative outcome was an outcome. Normal.]
If I had wished it before, I would have done something instead of surrendering. I had decided that I valued the lives of your and mine people over a potential victory. Everyone wishes to be victorious, but I would gain nothing for what was already an irresponsible campaign. [It was obvious that Karna was aware that the battle was unnecessary, but that he loyally still followed it.
He raises to his feet. Standing upright, he was only just a smidge taller than the other.]
