"It's not the role of the hiring manager to give them a reason to change. It's ours." Jean sighs, and lowers their head, staring at their hands on their lap. "...Doctor, I understand your concerns. I even echo them. If someone else from the City came here, someone not from the Library...the damage they could deal is incalculable. I shudder to imagine the slaughter and ruin that a figure such as the Purple Tear or a Claw could do if properly motivated. It keeps me up at night. It wakes me from a dead sleep. I accept, openly, that a show of force may be necessary if one of these Decepticons is hired, but can you say you understand the incentives on them? The history that motivates them, the ideology that justifies them? To be here is to have one's context completely changed, to be broken, clean, from every factor that has ever pressed in on you in your old life. To be alone with your past, without its hammer pressing down on your present."

"It just feels like you have compassion for people, but not any faith in them."
