Wi Baek

Mix sentiment into due process and what you get is not mercy but a flaw in the record. My appeal is already written.

• GeumgangWriting it is your business, Magistrate. Opening it is my gate.
  Wi BaekGatekeeper, a door opens before the law, not before a man.
• YuhaA fast brush and a right one are not the same thing, Magistrate.
  Wi BaekI have watched a slow brush throw the ledger into chaos, across more aeons than I care to count.

I have entered the half-erased stroke as evidence. Whoever's hand did the erasing, statute begins its questioning right where the mark was scraped away.

• MuyeongFinding that hand, I'm on your side there too. Just not the erasing part.
  Wi BaekDo not use the word 'side' so freely, not in this hall.
• King MyeongcheonWhat you brought before me, I have read.
