[Karla is really beginning to dislike the newspaper. There was always too much ridiculous gossip going on. People could talk all they want, as long as the people being spoken of know the truth.]
[First, the paperboy had smashed her window with the latest issue. And then the torture incident was featured in the paper, outing Karla as not only a victim, but as the Deputy Guardian of Genessia City. She hadn't planned to make that knowledge well known yet...at least until she had fully settled into her new position.]
[Karla never cared what people said about her in Elibe. She didn't seem to care that she was known as the Princess of Swords, able to cut opponents down with a single stroke. However, being famous as a torture victim who can't protect herself? That doesn't quite sit as well with her.]
[So, perhaps for the first time ever since she's been in Genessia, she's making a PSA. Her voice is calm but authoritative as she speaks.]
Well, I see the newspaper was kind enough to list all of the victims of that incident, as well as make my position as Genessia City's Deputy Guardian public knowledge. And the article claims that they weren't able to get comments from the victims. Well, I, for one, would like to make a comment.
Just because one guy managed to catch me does not mean that I am incapable of protecting myself. All I can do is learn from this experience and ensure that it doesn't happen again. I was only recently appointed as a Deputy Guardian, and while I may be off to a rough start, I can only improve from here on.
And a message I would like to pass on to the other victims and anyone else who may be scared from this: Be strong, but don't try to act tough. There's no shame in being scared. There's no shame in shedding tears. It's part of what makes us human, as well as leaning on one another during our struggles. To do any less than that...to allow our fear and rage to consume us...that makes us less than human. For the longest time, I thought I was less than human. I thought I had lost the ability to feel such emotions...but now I know better. I suppose that was the one benefit of this whole ordeal.
And one more thing? We'll get this guy. I can't promise a how or a when, but we'll get him. That much is certain. That's all I wanted to say.
[Karla let out a soft sigh of relief now that she's gotten all of that off her chest, and then the feed cuts off.]

Maybe you should just quit while you're ahead because as far as I see it you'll never learn enough to fill that massive gap of ignorance in your mentality.

...With all due respect, you are blowing this out of proportion. I never claimed that it would be easy. But I believed that people were strong enough to overcome any hardships regardless. Now I'm being told that I'm delusional for thinking so, and that the reality is that people cannot overcome their challenges?
By all means, help me understand. What would you suggest we do then? Are we to wallow in this for the rest of our lives? I would very much like to know.
[Perhaps she's losing patience...another new thing for her. Being able to feel all this emotions again after so long is a bit overwhelming for her.]

[ He crossed his arms as if to punctuate his point. He was wading into the area of hypocrisy with his last statement, but he didn't really care. ]
First of all? Don't twist my words. I'm not interested in that kind of shit. Secondly? I have no damn idea and I'm not going to pretend to. I wasn't here, I don't know any of these people, and I have no business in telling them what to do or how to feel. Frankly, I don't think you do either.
[ She wasn't the only one lacking in patience. She was just hiding that lack much better than Tony was. ]

I believe you began twisting my words first. In any event, I have no interest in speaking to you any longer. Farewell.
