"…why do you always choose these damn people over me?"
That was right.
His grandparents had always made decisions for the people of this region. Regardless of betrayal, they still placed the people above their own needs. Even when they had nothing, if someone was in need, they were always the first to help.
Haji was too young to remember anything significant about his father. To him, his grandparents were all he had. As a child, he often wondered why they were treated worse than everyone else. And why, despite that treatment, do they keep helping people who wouldn't even return the barest form of decency?
Growing up in that environment, Haji would have been a hypocrite if he claimed he didn't loathe the people of Ravah. Not just Jarvis, nor only the governors or the cruel men who served them.
He loathed every single one of them for continuing to expect his family to carry responsibility after everything they had endured.
