An Extra’s POV

Is it right to take a life?

NO.

Is it right to take a life you believe to be wrong?

MAYBE.

Is it wrong to allow a life you believe to be wrong take another life?

YES.

In the endless spectrum of results, Esme chose the simplest path to arrive at her definition of morality.

"I will eliminate anyone who threatens the wellbeing of myself, those I care about, and those I consider to be worth keeping alive."

And so, when it came to the question of the two men and their daughters, Esme had her answer.

"If killing a man's daughter will save my daughter, I'll kill the daughter. If killing a man will save my daughter, I'll kill the man. And if I can kill the third party who started the twisted game, then that is what I will do."

There was no need for a moral dilemma or overcomplicating an issue that would appear simple to anyone living in a certain point of view.

"Why is that your answer?" Rey asked Esme.

"Because I can't save everyone. I have a life, and I am limited by my experiences. It's useless taking my opponent's perspective and experience into account. I am not them, and they are not me."

Rey slowly nodded.

"If I choose not to kill someone's daughter to save my own, am I so certain that the person would do the same if they were in my shoes? No… I don't think so."

In the end, humans only did things based on their perception of things.

"We don't see the world as it is, but from a contaminated lens of the self… eh?" Rey smiled as he looked at Esme.
