"I'm merely stating facts. If you don't wish to hear them, Miss Seraphina, then so be it," Marlina replied, her tone unchanging.
"According to the original plan, after this riot, the gang elements in the lower district would have faced severe repercussions. The civilians would have gained confidence and courage from this struggle. From a long-term perspective, it was undoubtedly the best choice."
"The best choice... the best choice?"
Seraphina, losing control of her emotions, began to laugh loudly. She pointed out the window towards the still chaotic streets and exclaimed:
"Tell me, how is this the best choice when so many are homeless, so many have lost their loved ones, so many are resorting to theft and looting?!"
"I've said, it's because you, Miss Seraphina, caused the plan to lose control—"
"Your damned plan shouldn't have existed in the first place!"
