...Actually? We kinda were, at least for a while.

The man who killed my sister-- he had financial power over the whole legal system. I don't even know if everyone involved got caught.

[But at the same time, she kind of hopes not all of them have. After all, some people-- such as Grossberg-- had just been manipulated, not outright bad.]

[rassera]

Sounds a lot like back home.

[It's quiet, tapping his knuckles on his knee in thought.]

Pretty sure lawyers were just paid to throw in the towel. Get crap off the streets.

[And by 'crap', he means people like him.]

[missleadingquestions]

...I dunno. Maybe. I think back home it was more just... to keep rich people rich and poor people poor.

[Then again, maybe that's what 'getting crap off the streets' means.]

It's-- well, I think it's getting better...

[rassera]

Well, you're winning, right?


Someone's winning. That means something.

[The fact that you were not guilty four times is hope enough. Most people don't even make it TO their first.]

[missleadingquestions]

Oh-- yeah! We've won like...

[Maya sits back suddenly, mumbling to herself as she counts on her fingers. There was this case, and that case, and the other....]

Um, I think it was-- something like twelve?

[rassera]

TWELVE?!

[Okay, he could believe four. Maybe. If you hashed them all out one by one and the last one turned out to be a misdemeanor like spitting on the sidewalk. But TWELVE?

Does this 'Nick' person even exist?!]

...

[Just this look of disbelief, Maya. That's all he can muster.]
