Nellie said:

"You're wrong."

Lamont asked curiously:

"Where am I wrong?"

Nellie replied:

"If I refuse you, I am not choosing to use Inez's life to save others, but to use my own life to stop you with all my strength.

"Moreover, if Pendragon succeeds, Inez will die, and so will everyone else, It's not a matter of one person versus five; your question assumes that if we don't accept your terms, death is the only possibility, but that's not the case.

"There are no unsolvable problems in reality."

Lamont chuckled:

"Nice thought, but way too idealistic. Do you really think you can defeat me? I merely don't want to waste too much energy; the difference between a 0.01% chance and 0% is insignificant."

Nellie argued:

"If everyone does not succumb to evil, darkness will naturally lose its existence; bad people, except for the innately evil lunatics, will mostly follow the rules under such circumstances.
