Chaka was taken because of me. I left a power bar out, and he was offering it to them when they kidnapped him. I run into enough trouble because I trust people. I don't want other people to run into trouble because I taught them how to trust.

I've never seen slavery first-hand before. I knew intellectually that it was happening in various parts of the world, but that is very different from watching someone right in front of you be forced to do things that they don't want to do. They hit them with a pain stick like it was nothing. They hit us with the pain stick too.

It really doesn't take much to desensitize people to causing other beings great pain. Causing pain makes your soul go dark as readily as a time in a sarcophagus. It's a danger from which I know I am not immune.
