[ ah. dave knows immediately the truth won't save him here. because the truth is he is supposed to do whatever bro wants him to do. he is supposed to fall in line and be the good soldier and even if he's struggling with the impulse by going as far in the other direction as he can (even if he keeps trying to capitulate anyway) dave never stops feeling completely in the wrong for not simply letting dirk do whatever he wants. the puppet master and the marionette. his entire childhood.
his entire life, really.
it's wrong because it goes against every instinct instilled in him from birth on. but dave's aware it shouldn't be wrong, or isn't wrong in the egbertian point of view, the one that currently matters.
accordingly, he picks a different truth. ]
In this case, I'd say it's wrong because not doin' it or compromisin' is causing someone else to hurt themselves. Allowing that to happen, knowingly, ain't really the mark of a great person, John.
