The records that were given to me said you killed people, after the army.

Self-defense. To defend others. There's this thing they do in Vos called empurata. They cut off your hands, cut out your tongue, put out one of your eyes. Would you not kill to save someone from that?

W-what?! In a heart beat. God, that's terrible.

They would have done that to Meg. My Meg. He was a slave in the mines and he wrote poetry. They didn't like his poetry. And they wanted to make sure he couldn't share any more.

Everything he did was to keep that from happening. To him, to us, to people he'd never met.

Why would someone do that over poetry!?

They say the miners are not suited to anything else. That they are not smart enough to go to school. That they are happy.

The poetry proved them wrong.

I... What did he write? How did they find it?

The first big one was After the Ark. Someone narc'ed on him. I don't know who, exactly.

But your records... they call you a gangster.

Of course they do. They weren't about to grant us legitimacy.

You... weren't a gangster? How do you define the difference?

I suppose I was. We were organizing our felonies. Most of the laws we broke, though, were unjust. My older brother wanted to be a cloud scientist. But the law said they didn't need more of those. They needed cops. And the three of us were given the choice, police academy or the military. Is that right? Should my brother be refused even the chance to try because his parents didn't live in a particular school district?

No....

[He has no clue how close that cloud scientist thing hits to home.]

Okay, you pass snuff.

I promise, I'm done killing. Unless someone's trying to kill me.

You... you can ask a question if you want. It's only fair after I have someone pry into your background.

The guy you texted my address to, so he could come find you in the morning. Who is he? You must trust him a lot.

He's... my oldest brother. And it's not that I trust him a lot, it's just that I'm avoiding the rest of my family.

They should be nicer to you. I know I sound like a broken record, but I can't see what's so bad about keeping them safe.

Meg suggested today that if my ex can't handle me at my worst, he doesn't deserve me at my best. Even supporting me he was patronizing.

But he's supporting you. That's progress, right?

He started insisting I could get back together with my boyfriend. Luckily I knew the secret to driving him off.

High-pitched shrieking?

My brother is a sex-repulsed asexual. Started talking about my former sex life. He threatened to be sick on my bed but I could deal with that.

It is no less than he deserves. If I ever meet him, I'll be sure to ask him about his penis.

Oh god that would be hilarious. And he'd punch you.
