Afternoon everyone. This is Goro Akechi speaking.

We have come to find ourselves from a quite troubling situation. All thanks to acts of those from Rumpitur. I have heard the talk around the town about what should we do with them. Some of the people of Aldrip seem to be advocating for revenge, while others forgiveness.

Normally, I think the wisest choice of action would be leave the situation behind us and not to get involved in the politics of this world. But this is different. This wasn't a random attack or act of a beast, but carefully planned and intentional action against us. If we hadn't been successful in our rescue mission our numbers would have depleted no doubt. Who knows, the kidnappings could still be ongoing.

[He doesn't really care much for most of you. But this time they had hit where it hurt.]

What do you think, my fellow Chosen? Stay still and leave them be, potentially risking another attack. Or retaliate? Although, I believe it is important to remember that we still don't have all the details. Making this whole ordeal seem just more suspicious.

As for what I think? I believe something needs to pay for this.

It would be absolutely dangerous to let them walk away without any consequence. Even those who feel remorse now would talk themselves out of it, convince themselves that they had to do it after all, and they would see us as easy prey the next time they have a reason to exploit us.

Why do you think these other people don't see that?

Are they really that naive?

Maybe they are. Not everyone has the experience to know that people like this--they see others as creatures to exploit, and they can't understand generosity.

But I have to wonder if some of them have done something like what the Rumpiturans did and don't want to think that they themselves are so unforgivable.

[ Sorry, Ethlyn. Ange is very much taking this very seriously, but she can't help but just give the world's most unhelpful answer here when she sends back: ]

People are the worst.

If you do a bad thing, you should at least owe up to being a piece of shit.

[ LANGUAGE, ANGE!!

But despite the relative unhelpfulness of that answer, Ange does believe in that pretty strongly. It's why the idea of it annoys her so much, that it could potentially be just because people aren't willing to accept their own bad actions and will then forgive other crappy actions as well. That's the worst kind of downward spiral to her. ]
