"Do I need to be Kapo? You see, the other students are handling this for me!"
Mel's eyes widened; he was right. The entire Thirteenth Ward had turned into an overbearing Kapo. How could it be? Baybars was obviously good enough to let them find the courage to speak freely in his presence, so why were they imitating the other cruel Kapos instead of imitating him?
"You don't need to be surprised. It's one of the two basic attitudes that people in conflict of interest take. You're just reducing their precious eight hours of rest right now, and that's because I volunteered to keep an eye on your ward.
I'm their superior, and they can't afford to tell me anything. You're the only ones they can get on their nerves with, and if I wasn't here, I believe their reaction wouldn't be just grunts. How pathetic that they haven't learned anything even though I've been with them for so long. I guess we'll have to make a small change when we get back!"
