[Billy's expression is neutral for a moment, mulling that over, until he finally lifts his head, focusing on her.]
I think... I think it's good that he knows. The whole thing- the war, the SRA, that... prison... it happened too fast. It was decided all at once and there were no plans to make it better. Even criminals have rights, don't they? They get a trial, a chance to be free again. But once you're in that prison you're there forever.
[His hand grips the table, and he's trying not to look angry, but it's really hard. It's not just the prison- it's like the whole world went crazy. What they did to him, what they did to Teddy...]
That's what made it so bad. Maybe if they'd thought about it more, the SRA could have worked for everyone somehow. But for heroes who've been fighting to save the world for so long, risked their lives and never asked for anything in return, it was a betrayal. We weren't even criminals to them. We were like... wild animals they needed to put down.
