This place never changes... Even with half the City turning into animals and back, something else has to happen and shake the morality of the Network.

...If you had the power to see the very truth of a person, all their sins, fears, dreams, their very soul, and you had the ability to judge this person based on everything that they have done...

It is not my place to judge the hopes and dreams of others. But if, through desires and actions, one becomes a threat to the dream of the future, then action will be taken.

Mercy is subjective. What one might deem a mercy, another might consider fitting punishment.

You are correct that people on this network take death too lightly. It is part of the greater cycle, but it is no small step to take. And what the Porter does is not part of that cycle. The callous way people speak of death on these devices continues to baffle me.

That's true... [That's got him thinking about the past, wondering if he had known the things he does know would he do them differently? There's the sound of chains clinking together, because he's grabbing at the Puzzle again.]

I don't understand it either. Guess it's because they haven't had it happen to them, or to any of their loved ones? [He sighs through his nose.]

[ofthedream]

Perhaps so. But death can come to all, in time.

If it has happened to them or their loved ones in this world, I cannot see how they could make light of it. Even if the porter brought them back.

The porter is not... natural.

[ennoble]

No, it's not. It was made to do things like this, but I don't know the reason why. I don't think anyone does.
