[After being rescued, Ren regains consciousness pretty quickly. That's what happens when you heal at an accelerated rate - though can Ren's spirit heal so quickly, too?
After all, Mark turned out to be a traitor. One who, in the end, lost his life. What does Ren have to say about it?]
It's true. It's true what I said - my faith in humanity as a whole will not be eroded by a single person's actions. If you are concerned for my powers, that they are still needed... well, you have nothing to worry about.
As for myself...
[Ren smiles sadly. A trail of dried up tears is so visible on their face, and no one even tries to hide it.]
I'm happy that you let my kin live, even knowing they have nothing but disdain and mistrust for humankind. Even if they do... it's not fair to judge them for their beliefs, is it? Only for actions - and they didn't do anything yet.
So. I'm proud of you.

[The hug is returned, though Ren tries to gently nudge Volya into making it a less direct one rather than a full on embrace. Wounds still hurt even for the unkillable.]
As alright as you can be in this situation. But I'll be fine.
You have nothing to worry about.

I'm glad for the end result.

I can't say that, if it came down to it again, I'd have made the same choice, but the way it turned out is...not the worst. Close, maybe. But not the worst.

However, what are the odds the hornless kin will actually be peaceful? That they will not act with malice and hate, like the rest of their fallen brethren?

Yes. You made the right decision. Or rather, everyone in Unity Group did.
[Hetepheres turns sideways, looking at the sun.]
And that is not easy when the personal tragedy you just suffered urges you to do otherwise.

From the two of us, you really are the more impartial one, aren't you?
I mean that in a good way.
