"Look, I understand," the newcomer continued, circling his partner and gesturing with his hands. "Play the big monster so the little ones don't think they have too much space. I understand, and I even recognize a small light of altruism in your frozen heart, but let's face it... the people will never change. They want things the way they want and nothing can be done to change their minds. Take the candy from the kids? It may be better the way it is than-"
"Are you trying to justify the criminalization of our society, Ruzorh? This cruel and lustful disease that we call humanity?" Druko finally reacted to the older brother's provocations, facing the mocking look he hated having to meet. "Thieves, swindlers, rapists, corruptors, murderers... nothing prevents us from being the next targets for these greedy insects."
"I'm not justifying anything, skinny, but I want to remember that was much worse before," the exhibitionist dismantled his smile as he went on. "Our parents' government has brought many good things to the community, and our peace has never been more splendid than it is now. Hah! You remember what we went through!"
"Insufficient," the younger brother replied. "The nation's economy may be on the rise, but it does not reflect this well-being in society. Exploiting the complacency of the weak? Any imbecile does that. Bread and circus policy do not conceive a healthy community."
"What?! You know very well that it's not just bread and circus policy!" Ruzorh exclaimed. "You said yourself that our father helped our sports market, did the thingy on services and the stuff business we bought with those papers written there!"
"Restored the export market, regulated citizenship services, and the supply of products through written legislation," Druko corrected his brother's outdated memory. "Where did you get sports market from?"
"Not to mention how much our fellow citizens have dedicated themselves in the areas of induction and dactylomancy today."
"Areas of production and diplomacy," Druko sighed as he corrected Ruzorh. "Empty-head."
"Whatever! We have come a long way since our childhood," Ruzorh then pointed to his brother. "Don't tell me you forgot!"
