[Wolfwood doesn't interrupt (much) while Gnosis tells his story. He does find himself wondering if Gnosis feels any sort of regret for completely and utterly ruining both his own name and that of his family's for the sake of this coup, even if it turns out that he was pardoned publicly by Enciodes in the end. That sort of thing doesn't matter when you've already got half of the public making up their minds about you, but maybe that's just it. He already knew this, so it's not like he'd be losing further favor in their eyes.
It was about helping Kjerag. All about overthrowing those in power who had cheated, lied, and stole their way into it to begin with. They were just evening the playing field, and making fools of their adversaries handily while doing so. He doubts the plan would have gone half as well without both halves of Enciodes and Gnosis working together. One, a political mastermind. The other, a engineering and scientific genius.]
That makes more sense with context.
[Like yes, he did bomb a railroad bridge, but the context means everything here.]
Some say an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, but an eye for an eye in this case was a long time comin'. You were willin' to play the long game.
[A TERRIBLY long game. But...it's not like he hasn't seen similar. Just look at Vash, and how he's willing to just take the blame for Nai's crimes if it means keeping people safe. He will become the villain just to save the world, and Wolfwood...even to this day struggles to fathom being able to stomach it.
Maybe because he himself has never had such grand aspirations. He's not saving the world, or even one continent. He's just trying to save an orphanage, which maybe in itself is a little selfish, thinking so small.]

Did it all work out like you'd hoped, in the end?
