[ Cisco grapples with that for a bit; Tony's answer is simple, and certainly sounds honest, but rather than being inspirational, it just makes Cisco think about how he doesn't have a corresponding feeling of new perspective. His values hadn't changed all that much, and if they had, it had probably been for the worse. Before, he had never been able to imagine the kind of feelings that would lead people to want to hurt one another. Now... there is an exception to that rule. If push came to shove, he would probably kill Eobard Thawne, to stop him from hurting anyone else, and out of fear and hurt and hate.

Doesn't that mean he is a worse man now than he had been before? ]

How do you deal with that? With knowing anybody could turn on you?

[ Cisco drops his gaze; Tony is sitting there, talking about personal growth, how he'd taken something awful and made himself a hero because of it, and here Cisco is, dragging the conversation back away from that hopefulness, being so relentless and pessimistic. He really is worse, isn't he? ]

Sorry. You don't gotta answer that. I don't mean to keep asking so many questions, I just... there's nobody I can talk to about this. And I didn't already know it, like you did. I keep expecting everyone I meet is gonna try to kill me. Sorta makes for a stressful day.
