Vexing Questions

[Question 1: You are standing on the banks of a mighty river that is forking into two. Drowning in one channel is your mother, being carried by the threatening currents. Drowning in the other channel is your daughter who had only recently learned to walk. Frenzy Beasts within the river have closed in on both, about to kill them any second. Your abilities only allow you to save one person. Who will you save and why?"]

The very first question made him frown, 'Why do they have to ask such a question?'

He always hated such questions that forced him to choose one over another. Even from a theoretical perspective, he didn't like them. Jyorta thought, beginning to write while feeling a vexing sensation, "In Marble City, anyone above the age of 16 would be a superhuman, either a Warrior or an Esper. So, my mother should be able to resist longer. I will save my daughter first."
