[Man, all kids are just like this. With such short lives, it's no wonder they take things so hard.]

When the votes are cast things are settled. That's how these work.

Do you remember the evidence? All you have is your memory to work with now.

But that's not how it's supposed to work! I'm so sick of these— [ sniff ] stupid things making a joke out of the justice system!

How is the justice system supposed to work?

[As far as he knows it goes "you're guilty" and put behind bars with no trial at all.]

You do an investigation to find the person who did it, and then you give them a trial once you already know they're the guilty criminal so you can get them convicted and sentenced!

[ also... not exactly how it should work... ]

[That is not how it has ever worked for him, but North's justice system might not actually exist]

That so? They ain't gonna work to your rules, y'know. No matter how much ya hate it.

I know, but that doesn't mean I have to accept theirs either! A-at least, not completely...

How would ya go about changin' it? Can ya?

I don't... I don't know... I mean, I'm gonna sue the jerk in charge of this whole thing when it's over for doing all this stuff that isn't in the contract, but right now I'm... I'm not sure.

I hate this.
