As expected, the voice of dissent toward the 'harsh' punishment that House Horin received after the trial against House Ishetra died down after the citizens watched the trial for Operation Kronos.
Now, they thought that the punishment wasn't harsh enough.
The extent of the atrocities mentioned in the prosecutor's opening speech put Zein's case in a new light. Previously, it was only seen as a conflict between two Old Houses. With the new trial, it became so much more.
Now, House Ishtera has become one of the many victims that people can relate to. It shone a light on the previous story about Zein's struggle, and people were once again reminded that the guide did not come from a privileged place.
Not that Zein cared if their view of him improved or not.
That being said, he did not expect to be greeted by another bout of crying from the kids in Trinity.
"Captain!"
