You’re not supposed to write on walls!”

Coincidence? I think not.

"What did you mean, it's 'brutal?'" I ask.

"Your edict. Ending the employment of so many people at once, during the dead of winter."

"It's simpler for you to just cut them all off. But the right choice would be to take the time to investigate, to pluck off the actual leeches while retaining those who contribute, or those who have no other recourse but your mercy."
