Looks like I really will need a new place to stay. I wonder how the gracious landlords of the Narrows feel about renting to a dead man.

When I was in school they had a speaker, some veteran cop. He said a great deal about law, order, all the typical lecture topics. Experiences, working in a city some thought was on it's last leg. Said that it wasn't about being good and bad, it wasn't even about making people think you were right - it was about making sure they could never say you were wrong. Said something about justice never being blind, she saw everyone surely enough.

Stout guy, Mediterranean kind of look. I remember working with him those early years, having drinks with the guy, getting him fired on suspicion of money laundering. It felt like a loss at the time. I would have preferred to have him behind bars.

I still don't know what he was trying to say that day. I always meant to ask him what happens if justice isn't blind.

No, I am not. The Archadian Navy is a thousand times bigger than the entire Fire Nation force combined. Revenge will bring neither of us happiness, and it would take away from the time that I can spend fixing this debacle or the take the time away which the wrong was done against me.

In the end, revenge brings no one happiness and just consumes ourselves with hate and rage until we are hardly the person we remember ourselves to be.
