I do admire the fact that you're trying to reply in a direct, straightforward fashion, but I don't think that Kitzuya was actually looking for a serious response.

I don't see a specific 'moral' message implicit in the Dark Knight storyline.

Frey's storyline is about finding 'your voice'. You don't have to be the hero, but yet you still are. Why? Sidurgu's storyline is about understanding the basis of a Dark Knight's power in their emotions towards the people that they want to protect. Myste's storyline is about accepting the weight and the responsibility of your decisions while staying true to yourself.

The resolution and synthesis of all these storylines is simple enough. You are who you choose to be, now and always. Whatever reasons that you derive for your character's actions are yours and yours alone. Hence Frey's parting line: 'Was it ever mine...?'

What's perhaps more interesting is the fact that it's also a very early exploration of how memory transference works, except that you're not inheriting the spirit of a 12000 year old entity that overwhelms and overrides your personality.
