"There has to be another way." That's what I'd always told myself day in and day out. I've spent my entire life on the battlefield, but no matter how much death I'd seen, I always wanted to believe people wouldn't kill if there were another way to survive.

We had other options here, or so I'd thought. Murder is the easy out, and so people take it. Is that not what's happened here week after week?
