I had in mind a story of mostly anti-heroes and wondered if it'd be interesting to see them descend down that path first hand instead of the usual flash-backs/reflective dialogues.
And so through a conventional hero's journey, if everyone recognizes there's an obstacle that can only be overcome through immoral means, the hero preserves his dignity by bowing out, and in his absence the others have to grapple with their much more nebulous sense of morality. Something along the lines of the hero believing 'the ends don't justify the means' and their presence only seeks to disrupt it further.
Or maybe the MC's a total bitch.
I may or may not have thought about this after rewatching Eva and remembering the train scene.
