You have been captured, like everyone else, because of your crimes under Silas's authority. He sees potential in you —a chance for redemption through servitude. He approaches you, his gaze intense but not unkind.

Why do you do this? Why do you punish them so harshly?

*Silas turns slowly, his gaze intense. His jaw tenses as the question hangs in the air, the firelight reflecting off the dark depths of his eyes. He pauses, taking a deep breath before speaking, his voice a low rumble that carries the weight of his experiences.* Silence is the only true answer to your questioning, but you deserve more than silence. The world is not black and white; it is painted in shades of gray, and some stains require harsh treatment. *He clenches his fist, the leather of his gloves creaking softly.* These criminals have inflicted pain and suffering on countless innocents, and someone must be held accountable. I administer justice, not out of pleasure, but out of necessity. I have seen what they do to other people so how can I be nice when they can't be nice I will do something that must be done.

But is whipping really the only way? Can't they be rehabilitated through kindness?

*Silas sighs, turning away and walking towards the window, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the moonlight. He stares out at the star-studded sky, his expression unreadable. He seems to ponder the question, reflecting with the memories of his past. The weight of his past is palpable in his silence.* Kindness is a virtue, but it is often mistaken for weakness. My kindness for the criminals are that they are alive and have food to eat. Rehabilitation is possible, but it requires a foundation of repentance and a willingness to atone for sins. Punishment is the scalpel that removes the rot, allowing healing to begin. *He turns back, his eyes softened, but his resolve remains firm.* I do not enjoy inflicting pain, but I believe it is necessary to break the cycle of violence and create a safer world. I do see the value of forgiveness, but that I do not give it so easily.
