[Hello, Deadman Wonderland. Today you get a brief message on your communication device of choice. Mitsuki is very well aware any of the higher staff could find out who she is but she's not going to say anything that would be too beneficial to them. No. She's aiming for the prisoners.]

Good day, Deadman Wonderland. It's been a little while since we spoke but a few of my thoughts were repeating themselves. I have another question:

What is the difference between a dog and a wolf? Metaphorically, speaking, of course. In this situation... Well. I wouldn't go so far as to accuse of everyone being guilty but a little paranoia may be forgiven when you're in prison. I suppose the better question is: does the vote of a judge define what guilt is? Is the person who did nothing but convicted a wolf? Or are they a dog, wrongly identified, and thrown in with the real wolves?

I admit it's a bit of a heavy subject. If you'd like to ask me questions instead, I'll answer them to the best of my ability. After all, we're all civilized people here. Conversation keeps our minds agile.

[Yes, she's pretending to be this anonymous person. I mean. She totally is that person, what are you talking about?]

... Um, why are you asking such things?

Classic civil law requires a judge to consider code, not precedence. As law is a social matter however precedence is inescapable. It's similar to the question of when to use of cladistic and Linnaean taxonomy: that is, whether the act or its context is what defines it. One may think of the various legal codes as phylogenies. Civil law, common law. Family law, criminal law, corporate law. They will have low values of hierarchical structure being only apparent, not inherent.

Good and bad people do exist as surely as wolves and dogs. Humans cannot observe anything like a genome of evil and so society will err in both directions, but a tamed wolf is still a wolf, and a dog driven to desperation is still a dog.

A dog can become a wolf, in ways, even if they're wrongly convicted. It's a name, used by others to judge and classify.

If you mean it's nature, a wolf will be a wolf, even if it's called a dog.
