[ John doesn't reply at first, just takes a slow drink. He used to believe in the darkness of the world. He still believes in it some, doesn't think he'll ever get its stain off his soul. He can still hear Kara saying "We are the dark" and he believed her then and he believes her now. Only Harold showed him that he can do good with his darkness, that even if he's damned he can make a difference for other people. That other people are worth being saved. That he can be the one to do it. Pay back some of his debt to the world even if he'll always owe. ]
