«When leaders are quick to punish, it is more than a sign that the society they oversee is collapsing. It’s a sign that they don’t stand for anything meaningful. The future to them is effectively dead and all that’s left to do is play out the present for as long as possible. Knowing this doesn’t make Lady Love Dies’ punishment any less insane, but how it came to be starts to make sense.»
