I think Metallic is the only one who will understand this.

Remember back in Carmilla Season 2? When Vordenberg had Carmilla at his mercy, was about to kill her, and Laura, ultimate pacifist and all around idealistic naive girl was given a choice between breaking her no-kill thing she had going and saving the woman she loved? She instantly killed Vordenberg without a second thought.

Sure, she was haunted by it afterward. (Although frankly an old man stumbling out of a room screaming like an opera woman gone wrong will do that to you) But she was haunted by it after she'd made her choice, and dealt with it afterward.

Similarly, RWBY had a choice between "kill these people to stop others" or "let them suceed". The White Fang made the choice for them by attacking, giving them no alternative other than to fight back. In both cases, they had no choice, they were simply caught up in the circumstances of the mess they were in and had to react accordingly.
