Case #61: Video
Oct. 22nd, 2012 09:13 pmI've been thinking.
[DON'T RUN FROM HIM. Also, George looks nervous, and slightly grim, which is quite unlike him. As he speaks, he makes his way through the hall.]
We have all of us wondered, at one time or another, why the Admiral would continue to allow us to become...embroiled, as do we in events as such. Why, particularly, such things should affect those here to Warden, as theoretically such a person ought not to be deserving of such punishment.
[George pauses.]
I do not believe these things are punishments. I believe that they are trials, and our involvements in them, all of our involvements, are meant to be taken as examples. That any man...or woman might have at any time taken a different path, or be pushed beyond the limit. That anyone may make mistakes. And that it is what you choose to do after that defines you.
...This does not serve to explain those events when we awake to find that we have become animals: that is simply beyond me.
But I do want to insist again that anyone, anyone, may be forgiven. And we must all remember that.
