It's one thing to kill with a stroke of a pen, and another to be involved directly, Vander. You and I both know that. It's why they've been able to ignore us for so long. They eliminate our services, damn so many of us to starvation, or death, or rot and disease, but they never have to see it.
The blood is on their hands either way, the difference is whether they realize they've dipped their hands in it, or not.

Jinx has what she needs. Remember that.
[ Final, of course. He won't actually get into it, because...well. He's heard it from him already, hasn't he? ]
No. We don't have anything more, do we? At least I know what your line in the sand is.
I suppose it's unsurprising that it's the same one it always was. I suppose I should praise you for sticking your neck out at least over Jinx.
[ After all, it had never been him, had it? Is that bitter? Don't worry about it. ]
