CHAPTER 20: First Fight

Meros is so idealistic... I have to admit that I’m a little like him, I would have advised Thanat to lodge a complaint. But then I remembered how my dad would reason: what’s the point in being angry and making your life miserable if you can just forget and go on with your life? I guess this whole chapter made me understand my dad’s point of view X) In a way, he’s right.

Justice is a nice concept, but at what cost? Why work your ass off on a case, spend all your money on an attorney and waste your time at court only to hear a judge say “you’re right, but not much can be done, sorry”? Why live in fear of reprisals when you could simply let go and live happily ever after? And most importantly, why should I sacrifice myself for others? Yes, it’s selfish, but why can’t someone else do it? Why has no one else done it before me? Maybe because it’s not worth the trouble, simply.

Of course this doesn’t apply to everything and anything, but in Thanat’s case, I think there was no other choice; it was the logical thing to do. Let Zach go, he won’t be back.

PS: Thanat got hurt on the forehead only, the rest of he’s face is intact, no worries!
