The first part hurt, drove Finn to silence. That's exactly what he'd done, and Poe was starting to reject him and slip away. He leaned against the wall, turned away from him in silence.
But Poe continued, and Finn didn't miss the 'we,' though it took him a second to realize what that meant. Crait. The Raddus. Finn turned back to him, a tear track down one cheek forgotten. "That's different. I would have sacrificed people. I know I would have." But he hadn't, even when he boasted as much or got pressed into a corner. No, the only times he hurt innocents was when it wasn't even really him.
That didn't excuse Finn's blame in it, though. "You never had that intention. You never want to hurt anyone. It's different."
Because it had to be. Because Poe was the Light and he'd never be something like Finn was.
