Citizen Sleeper - Eshe

"Let me tell you something, Sleeper," Eshe says, her rage hardening into pain. "When people become administrators, they give up something. Some part of being human, being an equal among others, goes away. They start talking about the greater good, the systems, the ways in which their hands are tied, or their processes compromised."
"Mu mother was the administrator of Hawthorn, and I have seen what it did to her. That noble, higher calling, it is toxic. People should never have the chance to decide the fate of others. And those that do, do so at a cost to their humanity."

There’s more to this conversation that I love too, but it didn’t start hitting me how unique this was to find in a game until I was most of the way through, so I only caught this part to save.
