[Kanaya listens to all this very intently and her first thought is that she'd still rather hang out with a member of the yakuza than a lawyer.]
Interesting. Most of your people find a more indirect way to explain they choose to protect certain individuals and will gladly do harm upon any of the rest. Though I guess technically either way it's for "Family".
[The word is more heterogenous to her speech than "Experience" was in the RPG. She looks back at Eridan as if to exchange a wry self-deprecatory glance and explain "We Dont Have That Back Home". He obviously does not return the eye contact because he is dead, along with almost literally every other troll who has ever lived, and that entire particular sense of "home" in general. Kanaya did not think through how emotional this sight would make her, like a roleplayer who signed up for the season of Murder Manor where Spain didn't survive unharmed the whole game, and her face forms a brief, intense frown, which she wipes off her face by the time she returns her gaze to Peko.]
I keep hearing this platitude justification for the supposedly ideal mass cooperation so rarely achieved in reality. "Everyone has a family." Is that how it goes? Inflicting the loss of a family member on another human being is inexcusable, and everyone is a member of a family, rendering crime in general immoral? [Obviously Peko must be operating on some other kind of moral code. What that is has yet to be seen in full.]
