   Summary

   Cassian Andor has a role to play. He cannot forget the bigger picture. He cannot break cover after months of groundwork just because a stranger with fire in her eyes and condemnation on her tongue is glaring up at him on the wrong side of his blaster. He has to be the monster in the den of monsters so that maybe, one day, other people with cleaner hands can survive.

   He has a role to play.

   At what point does doing bad things for good reasons make Cassian no better than the thing he fights?

   He has a role to play. But could he, maybe, trust her to play along?
