I find it interesting + realistic the subtle ways in which it is communicated that when it comes to survival, the surviving humans are able to ignore their distaste for certain behaviors.
Like with Hosen. Vance hinted he knew what kind of crimes Hosen was capable of, how Hosen had picked out An Zhe and yet. He didn't do anything to prevent it from happening?? he even said "what did Hosen do? did he bully you?" and followed it with "his death was not unjust"
And Vance mentioned that were there any other options he wouldn't have chosen to work with Hosen
There is this sentiment of: when there are no choices, even the devil can become your comrade and also a kind of. pretending not to see what's right in front of you.
It's realistic in some ways. Because humans can adapt to anything when it becomes a matter of survival.
There is the obvious question of: if you let go of everything that makes you human, what is now worth preserving? and is your species's way of life worth protecting?
