"Things like these?" You mean people telling you not to kill someone?
[Her own voice is harsh.]
If you do something wrong, people will scold you. Even if you do something good, people might try to tell you you're wrong anyway. Do you know how hard it is, trying to do the right thing when everyone wants you to just... just let people die and be done with it?!
[As she talks, her voice raises.]
Maybe we'll be safer if some people die. They definitely can't be problems anymore if they're dead. But that's the easy way out, isn't it? You can just say, "they were dangerous, so I took care of it before they could do anything," and no one could prove you wrong.
[Somewhere along the way, this has become personal. It's easy enough to tell from how she speaks, a barely restrained anger.]
It's so much harder to convince people of the value of others. To show people that we are not monsters to be disposed of at the first sign of trouble.
