[The move isn't expected, but Pidonus doesn't seem surprised, at all, instead stepping in closer to Fauna and placing a hand on her shoulder.]

... How does hurting yourself, not even for those who did you - no, at all - serve justice? How does it mollify those you previously hurt?

I'll tell you how.

[The fingers against Fauna's shoulder... They suddenly feel sharp. Not enough to cut into her clothing or skin, but.

If anyone's looking, it's like her glove disappeared, and her fingers sharpened into talons.]


It doesn't.

[The sharpness fades. Her glove's back.]

Every kindness you accept now is no repayment upon your past deeds. But neither, in any way, does it make them worse.

Given that, you can either keep hurting people here and now for some illusion of justice. Or, you can break that cycle.

Tell me, Fauna. Which is more 'Just'?

I'd think stopping the harm is a better first step.
