That's why I asked you back[sr]then what it was I should do.

[k]
@Lakshmi
I know what I'm doing, and I've made my peace with it.
[k]
@Lakshmi
But, even so, now that things have come to this,[sr]I can't help but wonder...
[k]
@Lakshmi
The village is in ruins, lives have been lost, and people are grieving. Who can say this isn't the result of getting caught in that inescapable current?
[k]

Is what I...what we're doing here...
