absolve | wispy | efface

As the wispy trail from my turret disappeared, my next round locked in. I froze. Having carried out orders to efface one of this cultures greatest historic structures, I couldn't fire another round. There was non duress. No cover fired needed. Just blind orders by a power hungry leader. I may be dishonorably discharged, even jailed, but my heart will absolve itself. That was the first time I saw Lady Liberty with my own eyes. Now I took part in her destruction, this gift we once gave them.
