[In the face of Atem's outburst and frustration, Ravine remains unwavering as always, her expression neutral.]
No, I would rather you abandon your emotions and use your head, if this is the path you intend to take. Not to exact justice with the heat of revenge. Otherwise, it becomes more about your feelings than it is about the justice.
[Pause.] Unless, that is, you intend on exacting judgement on every offender, and not just ones you have a personal investment in. In which case, you'll have your work cut out for you.
[That's the problem with these things. You can't pick and choose. The Guard already gets flak for those assuming a sense of power that the group has never claimed; one boy taking it upon himself to be judge, jury, and executioner wouldn't be much better.]
In a way, being here is enough punishment for many. If not, then it will come. [That's the dangers of complacency.]
