[ Family. Yet another thing that didn't exist in the Junkyard, but he somehow wound up having a concept for anyway. Like the comrades you don't choose. (Or maybe comrades are the family you do choose?) ]
I won't say that anyone else will understand.
[ Because he's pretty sure you can't really understand this situation without being in the middle of it. Without seeing a mutilated corpse and a person killed just to present an example, without seeing a young girl take a knife to the eye because she didn't want to hurt anyone. It's not the kind of thing you expect anyone to really get, if they weren't there.
But. ]
But that doesn't mean no one will forgive it.
[ Her family? He doesn't know them, and while he thinks family is supposed to forgive that kind of thing, he hasn't exactly had the most positive real world examples to work with. Angel and Sera are...pretty dysfunctional.
He's not going to try to put words in the mouths of people he's never met, but he does know that there are people who won't judge you for violence you can't help committing - they're rare, or at least he'd thought so, but he could name a few on this island alone...so who knows? ]
