    Why do we even have these orphan crushing machines, anyway?

      Because only the sound of orphans being crushed can fill the dragon’s empty heart with joy. Collectively, we could defeat it, but it might burn down all the land in the fight…

      Also, most people cheer for the sacrifices - it’s not their children, after all.

        Hey, if they aren’t allowed to kill whales anymore, how else would they gather the oil for lubrication? Do people even think anymore?

      There are lots of jobs that depend on the orphan crushing industry. Do you want them to suffer?

        No one, and I mean NO ONE, ever thinks of the poor shareholders. What a sad reality we live in…

          And people keep forgetting those poor orphans. You want to take their meaning in life away from them? Shame on you!
