“We live in a gray world. There isn’t a black or white answer. There is no finite right or wrong. What we do is wrong for NHT, but right for the resistance. Nothing is for certain. That is what makes life so exhilarating and petrifying. Which in turn, makes it more gray. People will die. A black and white answer. Some of those people may deserve to live. Grey. But, I’d rather it be them than us. Call that whatever color you want, but I will fight to keep all of us alive.”
Eli Addis, Something in the Water
