Give me one of them then. Your guesses.

[gahrot]

Anything that's necessary to ensure the result you want.

[sagikkun]

True, but boring. That would never sell papers.

[gahrot]

Would you kill someone?

[sagikkun]

People already think I have.

[gahrot]

I wonder why.

[sagikkun]

it depends on what was at stake.

[gahrot]

Protecting yourself?

[sagikkun]

If I had to.

But wouldn't everyone? Isn't that the true nature of humanity?

[gahrot]

Not if it's pre-emptive.

[sagikkun]

Pre-emptive still means I'd have exhausted all other avenues.

[gahrot]

Do you think that's how everyone approaches it?

[sagikkun]

Of course not.

You and I have both met our fair share of criminals, not everyone is discerning.

[gahrot]

Aish. Do you think you make good decisions, Judge Kang?

[sagikkun]

I make the hard ones.

[gahrot]

Do you regret any?

[sagikkun]

( Yes. )

What good would regret do for me?

[gahrot]

How else do you learn?

[sagikkun]

( You've got him there. )

Other motivators.

[gahrot]

Positive or negative reinforcement?

[sagikkun]

Both are equally useful.

Which do you think works better on me?

[gahrot]

Positive. I don't think you implement it as much in your own work, though.

[sagikkun]

Often it's a way for people to take advantage. So you're right, I don't.

[gahrot]

I like positive reinforcement.

[sagikkun]

I know.

( Unfortunately because he is Kang Yohan, he only knows how to give it in specifically awful ways. Like hand jobs in his office. And upending entire lives with bad news. Now if only he could find the right kind of book that would unlock that particular aspect of humanity for him. )

So how do we reward you for not burning a building down? Do I have to scour the roadsides for another poorly plant?
