Kiira felt like a cord ready to snap. Eyes flashing in newfound fury and pain. Terrified that she'd lose her cousins to this stupid sense of 'justice'. When she barely even knew them. Not right. It wasn't right. It wasn't fair.
The vixen's ears flattened against her skull. Her tail disappeared behind her as her emotions bubbled to the surface. Above everything, she was devastated that so few could see through the tinted glasses. They were blinded by anger. By past wrongs done by those already gone.
... Her mitch-matched hues locked on Atbash with unusual focus. Cold. Broken. You think I could forget? ... When they took me? Weeks. Weeks. She spent in those caves. Starving. Dehydrated. Alone. ... Atticus is right. Have a heart.
The one who took me is gone. Jervis. Why should I blame those who had nothing to do with it? Why should I hate the ones who've tried to change things? Gael. Aine. They disbanded slavery. Did their best to enforce neutrality. They weren't the ones who hurt Elswyr. Odds were they weren't happy about it, either. You'd hinder them more with these stupid generalizations. When you tell someone they can't change, you're the one in the way of it.
When you punish the many for the crime of one, you don't help. You're not being just. You just add fuel to the fire. You make it worse.
