[ It is what it is can only get you so far, and Law doesn't think he'll ever lose his taste for a healthy amount of righteous outrage. Tacit acceptance of the way things are spits in the face of everything he was raised to believe, and by this point in his life, he feels it's his solemn duty to stay mad. ]

Yeah, that's true. Everybody should be allowed to choose their lot in life. Renans, Dahnans... if we're all just following the rules of some stupid contest, then it has to end.

[ That's always been the heart of the matter, right? The Stupid Contest. As always, he'd prefer to keep things simple and digestible. If they end the Crown Contest, everything will be fixed. The end. ]

Alphen might be the big hero, what with the Blazing Sword and all that, but he got it from you. So really, in a way... we all have this hope because of you. You're making a big change for us all, too.

[It's his desire, his anger, to make sure that things change for everyone that mirrors Alphen's that she admires in both Dahnan men. Not that she's said it or will do so. She doesn't truly understand what it's like to be them, but she does sympathize and empathize with all of the Dahnans. Unlike Dohalim, her life hasn't been cushy and filled with happiness. So, she does get it, to a point.]

I don't disagree with that. Until we completely sabotage the Crown Contest, that's just a dream. [And deal with Lenegis's retaliation, but she does wonder if she'll be around for that.]

I...hadn't thought about it like that. [Freeing the Dahnans was always secondary to actually saving the entire system from the thing that still haunts her nightmares.] I always thought of it as using him and the rest of you to accomplish my goals.
