Ethics [Thursday, October 26, 6th period]

Vader swept into the room precisely on time, the door slamming behind him like usual. "I trust that your time with your relatives was excruciating and uncomfortable. I do not care about your problems to begin with, and if you try to use them as an excuse for why your assignment is not complete, I will not care even more." The leather creaked in his gloves. "So don't try it." It wasn't a suggestion.

He paced in front of the classroom. "While I am interviewing you all separately--" the menace in his voice was completely intentional, "--the rest of the class will be discussing the Golden Rule. 'Do unto others as you would have done unto you.'" Vader snorted. "Hopelessly naive way to live your life or useful philosophy?"

It was very obvious which option Vader preferred.

He pointed towards the first student. "Let's begin."

"Well, I was trying to teach her to fight," Tyler said. "If you can't hurt people, you won't understand that."

He bit a thumbnail. "It could make her give up information, maybe," he said. "Make her think someone will be hurt if she doesn't do whatever I want."

Vader nodded, satisfied with that answer. "If she were truly your apprentice in such a discipline, would she be at all useful with such a block in her path? How would you try to correct such a flaw?"

"I would need to desensitize her," Tyler said. "Get her to play video games or fight people she hated, until she didn't associate the actions with any emotion."

Vader nodded again. "Impressive," he said. "You may sit back down."
