Ivan
*Heard the voice and felt happy as he sat up slowly, on the bed a voice, anything but his own thoughts was better as heard footsteps he spoke.*

`"Your sins? What have you done? To say such things?"`

*He asked as he said he would remain here as well he looked down for a bit but accepted it.*

`"Why keep me alive? If I will remain prisoner better it to be done with this chapter in your people's lives?"`

*He asked why waste food or anything on a prisoner when they could just be done with it may be a foolish question but he didn't know.*
Joyce
```"To have made such mistakes to allow for such an unfortunate circumstance, that is why"```

*He said simply said sitting down in front of the boy*

```"Why? Because we have no reason to kill you"```
Ivan
*Looks at the food and slowly picks it up and sits down on the bed he stares at the cup of water.*

`"What would you have done under my circumstances? Your morale beliefs tell you one thing but your culture and authority figures tell you another if you don't listen they'll kill you and be an outcast from your own home your family and friends."`

*He asked not really wanting to look up at him he hadn't stood in his own morale beliefs perhaps the reason he believed he deserved this punishment and why he deserves the sword instead of life.*
Pamela
```"I would've understood the situation, rather than acting so rashly. At least then, I would've had a second opportunity. But alas, I too would've done the same, though it does not excuse such behavior"```

*Elder Guang said blankly, he stretched his arms out, then crossed them*
