Unless you've been on trial for your very lives, you couldn't possibly understand. Have you ever found yourself literally yanked out of time and space and into a courtroom filled with hostile faces, and not a friend among them? Only to learn that you are being judged and condemned for caring and trying to make a difference instead of just sitting around on your arse for millenia, unlike the High Council members of a certain "advanced" civilization I could mention . . .
I have been persecuted and prosecuted on any number of occasions, but that particular Trial was the first time that even I doubted my innocence. It's bad enough when there are no friends to support you, but when you can't even find faith in yourself and your motivation? Now that is being truly alone.
