What, the people who tortured you? No shit. I want vengeance and I don't even know the half of it. [ don't encourage the murder light shows maddie ] It's not like the metric for morality is the same in every world. You could ask God about it, I know you two have been talking.
[ she pauses ]
When it comes to something like that... personally? It's about not letting that want for vengeance consume you. Not because they don't deserve it, but because you don't. You're more than what they did to you. What they're probably still doing, aren't they? To others. You wouldn't be a better person by pretending it doesn't still matter.

It's not as if I am a better person. I still want vengeance on those who have wronged me. Us.
