Well... I can't fault your choice of instructors, as much as I'd care to.
[Between Vanitas and the Exarch, his most critical injuries had been taken care of.]
I'd say he would be... the martyr. Or attempted martyr, in any case. From what I've gathered, his plan was to wait until Mira had absorbed the aether of every Lightwarden of the First, watch her fail to contain it, and then steal it from her, sacrificing himself in her place.
[Somehow. He doesn't know how the Exarch intended on getting rid of himself and the Light, but considering how mysterious the man was, the Ascian can well believe he'd found some method.]
Foolish, short-sighted, futile- much like every mortal act.
But you do realize I too did not inform Mira of what was happening to her soul as she took in the Light. 'Tis not as though I was unaware of the risk. The primary difference between myself and the Exarch, is that I believed she had a chance of containing it.
...Well, that, and if she failed and became a Lightwarden herself, I'd find that an acceptable outcome.
Of course you knew what was going on. That is hardly surprising. To me, at least, the difference isn’t even about what you believed as opposed to anyone else.
You were, essentially, still the enemy so why should you be expected to tell them anything? It isn’t as if you were actually friends or allies at the time.
Oh, I agree with you, but... one could make a case that while I was attempting to prove my good intentions with them, that small details like that should've been included.
Not that I hold any regret for that, nor would I have done anything different.
Still, good to know that I'm not to be included in your ire. What will you do with the others?
Maybe someone could argue that, yes. Though, again, you weren’t a trusted companion who shouldn’t hide such big secrets. Keeping those facts hidden weren’t going to, ultimately, betray something deeper.
The others? They most certainly did.
So no, I can’t fault you for it. You probably don’t really care if you are “included in my ire” or not. First, I think I might see what they have to say. After that? Well who knows. Hopefully Mira won’t stop me.

I didn't learn healing magic on my own.
Just how involved are we talking? If you were the villain what does that make him?

[ Healing magic in general has a lot of things that Vanitas just couldn't understand at first. It's getting better though. ]
So... He's the guy then. The one that kept all that stuff to himself. He knew it was going to happen and he didn't really give her a say at all.

[Look at all this praise for the Exarch.]
If he'd told her, do you think she would've allowed his plan to continue?
And so, silence.

And what could they say that would satisfy you? As for afterward... well, I'd avoid letting her know, if I were you.
