"They all knew what they were getting themselves into," Basla said through gritted teeth after a while.
"So did ours, but we used members who broke our laws," Monkey added, just to make Basla feel worse.
"We weren’t fools," Layas, the Seg representative, said.

Basla thought it was unfair that he was being judged when he knew it wasn’t just the Lowat tribe. Monkey had even admitted to doing almost the same. Why was everyone just ignoring that?
