[ There are very few things that make her angrier than ignorance, and this is that at its very best... or worst, depending. And yet, when she speaks, it isn't with a raised voice or angry words; it is with care, almost akin to the kind of serious conviction one might find at a court of law. ]

Yes... you're right. But can you imagine a situation like this: a crew of pirates takes over your village. They come in, demand people to pay them for the right to live... kill those who don't have the money. No matter what anyone does, it won't help. The government won't send help, the Marines look the other way. There's no one you can go to. But they tell you... if you can pay them one million, they will let the village free. All the people you love. If there's no other way to get that one million, but to steal from pirates like them, those whose fortune has already been stolen? Would you do it?

Would the law mean more to you than the people you love?
