Ah. Made is... an interpretation of what happened. Nobody really had to, just because we were told that's what the rules were. Yet they did. And I did. Two people. Three, if you count... [herself, to get out of it] I wouldn't call that torture, but a lesson in accountability.

And the zombies were whatever, I left. People could have safely returned through the portals if they hadn't been seeking out danger by their own choice. We're usually warned ahead of time. So I wouldn't call that torture either, but a way for those hungry for action to get out some pent up violent energy.

But this is more of a life than I've ever been afforded. So I know I see it differently than some. I don't want to destroy everything, I just want it... to be better.

[she holds up a silvery thread] May I?
