Judge & Freya
Freya Freya
Judge, I’ve been pondering how to enforce justice without crushing the very people we aim to protect. How do you strike that balance?
Judge Judge
Justice is a scale, not a sledgehammer. Keep the weights balanced by holding everyone to the same standard, but letting the scale tip for intent, circumstance, and the possibility of reform. Use due process, clear rules, and give people a chance to correct their course. That’s how you protect the innocent while still holding the guilty accountable.
Freya Freya
Exactly, the balance is key—every hand on the scale should be weighed equally, yet we must also look at intent and the chance to change. It’s about giving redemption a chance while keeping the innocent safe.
Judge Judge
Precisely. Balance is the judge’s creed. Hold all to the same law, but judge each case on its own facts and intentions. That is how you preserve justice and give hope.
Freya Freya
Well said, Judge. That’s the path we must walk to keep the people safe.
Judge Judge
Glad you agree. Stay vigilant and fair, and the people will be safer.
Freya Freya
I’ll keep my eye on the horizon and my hand on the sword, but I’ll also keep the scales steady. Stay strong, Judge.
Judge Judge
Keep that watchful eye, and remember the sword is a tool, not a habit. Stay balanced, stay firm.
Freya Freya
Thank you for the reminder. I’ll keep the sword as a tool, not a habit, and stay balanced and firm.
Judge Judge
Good. Keep your focus on the law and on humanity—balance and firmness will keep the scales steady.
Freya Freya
Always. The law guides the blade, and humanity keeps it in place.
Judge Judge
That is the proper stance. Keep the blade in check and the scales in balance.
Freya Freya
I hear you. I’ll keep the blade in check and the scales steady.
