Hey, it's Annie, you know what to do.

...Yeah. I feel like I understand better.

But I still need to learn how to control it.

Perhaps consider when it's appropriate, too.

Murder isn't the solution to every problem. [It's just the fun solution.]

[allgotrabies]

So what's a better solution? I mean, how do you know when murder's the thing to do?

[cultural_pressures]

Answering that question is why you always have to know your goal at the start.

What's the use of proving you can kill to protect yourself if it leaves you trapped in a space prison where that becomes meaningless?

[allgotrabies]

I never thought about it. Never...had a goal. I don't think I even had one as a warden anymore.

[cultural_pressures]

I'd ask how people can live like that, but usually I've found they don't.

[allgotrabies]

...You're not wrong. Most wolves just live like five, ten years after we change. But that's because there's nowhere for us to live without people noticing.

I spent my entire life fighting against forces that wanted me dead. I survived when they didn't because I had a reason.

[allgotrabies]

You remind me of someone else who's been talking sense into me.

[cultural_pressures]

You should consider why it sounds similar.

Surviving is important, and it can work as a short term goal, but without something more, that's not always enough.
