An Extra’s POV

Rey knew there were good people in the world.

He considered Alicia a good person, and to an extent… he thought he wasn't too bad either.

Perhaps he had a few gray areas in his life, but he knew for sure that people like Alicia would not stand for evil actions.

Still…

'When push comes to shove, we sometimes have to make certain decisions that could be considered evil.'

There were quite a number of people in the world he came from who argued for the rights of animals, especially appealing to the fact that some were highly intelligent and sentient.

This group of people proved that animals indeed felt emotions and pain; and in fact, we're capable of feelings like love and attachment.

They were highly complex beings.

Yet… people killed them every day. They did so for various reasons—like sustenance, enjoyment, or dietary requirements.

Genuinely nice and downright pleasant people would consume the very animals that were said to be sentient.

Rey didn't know which path was right or wrong.

He only knew one thing.

'This is just the way life is.'

And so, as he looked at the girl before him, truly empathizing with her for the horrors she suffered, he couldn't help but feel a little numbness inside him.

'I don't think I would ever go that far with humans, but…'

If intelligent Monsters were happily living in their territory—without bothering anyone—he wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

His reason for doing so would be justifiably simple.

—EXP!

Just as people consumed animals to survive, Rey didn't mind killing Monsters to get stronger.

It was unfair on the Monsters who—if left alone—would have lived out their lives in relative peace.

However, Rey didn't care.

'The same Monsters would do the same under similar or certain circumstances.'

As he looked at the girl before him talking about Good and Bad people, he wondered what it would take for her to take a life or torture someone.
