I don't want AM to hurt me. I'm not trying to take myself from you. But I hurt the situation of so many monsters here. That's the rules...just because Javert won't admit I did something wrong doesn't mean it's true. He's biased.

[Ryou's evidently not convinced yet, that he shouldn't go to monster prison.]
