But you can't seriously mean to contemplate whether 'stage three' of the plan (i.e. let's trade in non-Ancient souls to Zodiark to free the ones who were previously sacrificed) was a sound one. And the fact that it's still being put forward in their master plan years later raises some serious questions about their value system.
At the risk of being facetious, would you murder a dolphin to save a loved one in an unrelated situation?
