[It's been a while since Shun's seen anything but pursuit of power for the sake of power when it comes to things like that, but the idea of it being addictive isn't entirely new. Something like that, in that situation...even if it was for the sake of competition, he can easily see how the allure outstripped any thoughts of pushing it away.

The fact that he apparently still has it, though, surprises Shun a little, and he gives Ren one of those piercing looks he's so prone to when weighing people up.]

Then you must have an even stronger will now than I thought you did, to ignore that kind of draw when you still feel that way about it. That doesn't sound like an easy thing to turn your back on.
