[Qui-Gon bites back what would've been an admittedly childish retort with yet another reminder that Leia isn't wrong. The entire situation surrounding Anakin and his fall to the Dark Side is mired in grayscaled should haves and would haves that all culminate in perhaps one of the worst inflictions upon the galaxy since the days of the Old Sith Empire. He can't deny that.]
[But he also can't deny what he knows Obi-Wan did to Anakin. The forbidden marks used, and the emotional turmoil it's put the man through to know that even committing an atrocity himself couldn't stop the destructive force that is Darth Vader.]
[And he won't betray it, either. If Obi-Wan already told Leia in confidence, then that was his business. Qui-Gon won't make any assumptions in that regard, just as he won't make any assumptions that he can ask Leia to forgive Obi-Wan at the very least.]
Fair enough.
However, it is my sincere hope that you have not been put into such a position yourself, and never will be.
