Which is why I find it really interesting that Ijada's cry is for justice,
rather than mercy, contrasted to Cazaril, who says that we would be fools to
pray for justice.

Upon reflection, I decided that was probably due to their differences in age
and experiences, but still find it very interesting.  I wonder what Ingrey's
take was on justice and mercy at the end of HH, compared to at the
beginning.
