because, Shiro, this place is about second chances. and sometimes, third and fourths.

because people here believe in the inherent goodness of other people and that they can change. because they believe that people, when given a chance, can accomplish great things. because someone has to stand up for what is morally right when no one else will, especially when it is the unpopular choice. because America allows for unpopular opinions, no matter how much we sometimes wish otherwise.

because.

and that's enough.
