"Welcome to our final class together," Anakin said as he passed out the exams. "I hope you've learned something about yourselves in our time together so that when you're faced with a tough situation, you can make a choice you can live with."

That's what passed for as touchy-feely from Anakin, folks. Sorry. "There are no right and wrong answers on this exam, but I do want you to explain your answer. Don't answer what you think I want to hear--answer how you'd honestly react."

Question #5

[sith_happened]

As a "special honor", the authorities who have captured you and your children will let you choose one of them not to die immediately. You will never see the other one again, as the two of you remaining will be sent to languish in the spice mines of Kessel, which are not known for their low mortality rates. Do you choose your older son or your younger daughter? And how do you deal with the guilt?

a) You choose to let your son live. He's older and might survive the intense labor in the spice mines.
b) You choose to let your daughter live. She's younger--perhaps one of the other prisoners will take pity on her and assist her.
c. There is no c in this question.

...Yeah, glad when this class was over.

C. There is no c in this question. Oh, there's a C.

This was why people should wonder about her, really.

Victor refused to circle either of the options. He crossed out C and wrote in, I go down fighting for all three of us.

And then he circled it. Heavily.

Wow, a question about parents and killing kids, that wasn't hitting close to home for Anna at all. Except the drops of blood dripping from the hem of her dress and hitting the floor below her desk put the lie to that...

Anna wrote I'm dead, I can't have children, and then below that, Or kill me instead.
