Do you think that there's such a thing as a power that is wrong, not because of how it's used, but just because of what it does?

[After staying holed up in her room with the door shut - quite an unusual break of habit for her - Katara decides to head into town. She wants to check out that night club that she'd heard about - she heard there would be music!

From there it's the usual errands, like the grocery store and the Item Shop. Dinner tonight will be Something Spicy, but she hasn't figured out what yet. Maybe it'll help get Sokka out of his funk.]

[He's been listening in on these, mostly out of curiosity and boring. He's got a sort of gist of what this mysterious person is trying to get at. He responds, using a pretty bland kind of handwriting, mostly because it's not easy to imitate Haruhi's. Like Katara, he keeps himself off screen.]

You seem to be pretty big on this free will thing. But I think you're kind of missing a big thing when it comes to powers. I mean, you can put someone in chains or give them some drugs that take away their free will. And that's bad. You can also kill someone with a sword or some special flashy power. In the end, does it even matter?

You don't have free will when you're dead. Just putting that out there.

But people have a chance to fight back with those kinds of powers. There are powers that leave you alive but... make you completely helpless or change the nature of who you are. Everyone has the ability to kill someone else. Isn't this different?

Can they fight back? Can they even fight at all? Just because you can, doesn't mean everyone can.

[She thinks of her mother, and answers slowly.]

If they still have control of their mind and body, they at least have the chance to fight. It doesn't mean that they'll be any good at it, but it's still different.

All I'm saying is, maybe a power where you can stop someone without killing them isn't always a bad one.

Maybe.
