[It's a comment that could be interpreted nobly, if taken at a certain angle. Something about sparing the father the shame of witnessing the son, or some garbage like that.

Curious.
He doesn't leave long to dwell on it, though, as he moves briskly on:]
Well, the decision seems straightforward enough. You have no particular objection to my crime, but I object to the slaughter of millions. So it seems it falls to me to be your figurative executioner, hm?
