This feels like one of the worst choices. A kid is going to be taken to execution tomorrow.

I'm sorry. Saying "it could be worse" doesn't make it any better.

[He puts a hand on Kotetsu's shoulder.]

I know you want to make it right. We all do. And we can't, and that's...

It's terrible.

[ He glances at the touch, but it doesn't both him, giving a weak nod. ]

No, I know what you mean. I get where you're coming from...

[ He raises his hand and pats the hand on his shoulder, appreciative, even through his general anger. ]

It's also heartbreaking. I want to believe in everyone, but it's hard. People keep taking those deals, even if we know better.

[voltadomar]

Yes... I wish I could understand it.

[Hand still on Kotetsu's shoulder, he turns his head away to inhale from the cigarette.]

[ His hand tightens a little on Kim's, but it's not too hard. Sort of like he's trying to ground himself here. ]

[He'll stay like this for now, then.]

We are still in the dark, it's true. But we're learning a lot quickly. We can make it out of the dark.

You're right. And people are working together to share what they're learning. It takes time... which we don't have that much.
