Cisco does wonder sometimes what Taako would think of the pre-Eobard version of himself, without the occasional strange fits of sadness or paranoia, who smiled more, and brighter, and trusted everybody who was even a little nice to him.
But it doesn't matter much; that version of him is never coming back. What matters now is his future. And what Taako's saying isn't that Eobard had had no role in shaping him, but that ultimately, the choice was on him. To do good, or to do evil. Cisco sets aside the banana leaves, turning to look at Taako finally, a tiny smile on his face. ]

[ And not all that different from what Cisco had been talking about before, just a little more optimistic. More "choose you who want to be" and less "choose carefully always or it will be evil o'clock". ]
