I think they're both accurate. But... you're right.
[ he can give the full story without hesitating now ]
Scien was—is—my friend. He was infuriating, but he was the savior of our country. The only reason the curse on our island didn't wipe us all out ages ago, and the reason why we could survive this long. He was also working the hardest of everyone to solve the curse. He was prideful, difficult, and impossible to understand. [ a little laugh ] And he was steadfast, generous without expectation of reciprocation, and loyal.
He solved the curse, actually. He had the nerve to give us all salvation first, just to follow through on his word. For no one's satisfaction but his own.
[ his smile turns... sad ] ... and without his life's work to distract him, nothing could distract him from the fact that his lover died. I think something in him... broke.
So he took the same island he saved and started sacrificing others so that he could bring her back, because he missed her so much. Loved her so much.
... I couldn't let him. I don't blame him, even though I'm sure people tell me I should. But I... don't want it to be about who was right or wrong, or good or evil. I just know we both had things we loved and needed to protect, and that was the outcome.
