Funny how he'd used that same reasoning to defend Anakin only months (years for Obi-Wan) before. Now he was using it against the young man who he'd placed so much faith and trust in. He'd heard about the Sith Lord Anakin would grow into before from those who lived in the future he created, but he still fought for him. Qui-Gon wanted nothing more than to prove Anakin's worth. It felt like a betrayal.
And that was getting closer to the heart of what was bothering Qui-Gon.
"If he is unstable in any way, someone else could get hurt. You know this just as much as I."
