[ Light started with the question worded in a way that suggested he understood it might be more complicated than simply allowing the cops to handle it. ]
It's usually the criminals who are fleeing.
The justice system isn't perfect.
[ The smile is both understanding and a little sad for it. ]
It's the best thing we have to keep people safe, and I understand why the cops would have separated you from him. I understand why he'd be the most likely suspect in the death of the man in your home. A young girl worried about someone trying to impregnate her for any reason would be the main focus. You'd get more understanding, he'd get more suspicion. Usually, all of those things would be the right decisions.
Sometimes, it means the system is wrong. It sounds like you've been failed by a few systems.
[ But Sharon isn't the kind of woman who wants pity, is she? ]
Sorry, I know I asked about something personal. If I can ask one more question, I'll let you talk about all the different colors of gray paint instead.
[ The smile switches to something a little more teasing, a little more light. ]
I know. [ The words are almost mournful. She knows the justice system isn't perfect. She knows the system can be wrong. Most of all, she knows she's been failed by too many systems in her life, from childhood to young adulthood. And she's used to it.
At the question, she releases a thoughtful sigh, something distant in her gaze. When her eyes return to him, she smiles faintly. ]
Well, the vast majority of them are dead and I killed all their leaders so... [ A shrug. She says it so factually and it lacks any cockiness. ] Yeah, I'd say it did. Better than what I had expected. [ It could've gone so much worse. She managed to save her dad and that was the only thing that really mattered. Claudia's death was just a bonus in her mind. ]
They might one day manage to regroup but there are so few of them left and they don't even know how to leave that hell they're in so I never have to worry about them again unless one of them winds up here.
