"That is a shallow definition of justice," Arnold sighed, his tone carrying the weight of deeper wisdom. "What you're engaged in is vengeance. Justice ceased to exist the night Ara died, and your actions, killing everyone there, are driven by revenge."
"But what about the person that led Ara to me? Don't they need to be punished too?" I protested because it was not over until I found them.
"That person, it's punishment for you, is it not? You killed Ara's father, and they brought you a form of justice like you wanted to do to them," Arnold explained, his words striking a chord.
