Mm. Emet-Selch was upset, that we picked him because we'd get nova, but - if killing any person is wrong, but we have no choice but to kill someone, isn't getting nova the right thing to do?
What is right and wrong can be difficult to define... I don't begrudge Emet-Selch for his anger, at the same time that I think everyone tried to make the best out of a bad situation.
It's easy for a person to place their own beliefs above others', and that anyone who disagrees with them is the one who is wrong. But surely, that other person would think the same.

It is not a bad thing, necessarily. That is why humans need each other. By talking to one another and seeing things from others' point of view, they can share their notions of right and wrong with each other, and from that, new values are born.

Even if we found Yoshizawa-san's killer, everyone might be sad about them, too.
I just don't think anybody should be being killed like that!

It feels like it shouldn't be hard to know what's right and what's wrong.

Is humanity's history not like that?

I don't really know. I only got a C in history.
But that sounds right to me. I've learned so many things by talking to others here.
