Eve just remained silent for a while, studying Ivan and wondered, what all he must have seen to have such deep insight into the subject. After some time, she asked, "What about you? How do you see other people's lives?"
"I am no saint, Evelyn…but know this, I only serve justice to those who truly deserve it. I will always protect my people and the innocent." His eyes hardened as he spoke, as though those words were etched into him.
Eve knew his hands were stained with blood, yet it gave her some relief to think that it wasn't the innocent who suffered his wrath, but those who had truly done wrong. Even so, she still couldn't help but wonder, what must a person do to deserve death instead of a chance at redemption? Then she remembered the humans who had lost all their humanity and turned into darkrots in their greed for power. Their actions went as far as killing women and children without any remorse. Those were the kind who can never be redeemed.
