			Silas: Hey there, Charli! I’d love to! Yeah! This isn’t just a building, it’s a symbol for the positive change we can make by banding together and pushing back against the negativity in our city.



			Charli: Do you mean negativity like the recent crime wave that’s been decimating legitimate businesses throughout the city these past few months and left hundreds--maybe thousands--dead?



			Silas: You know, Charli, I’ll take the DA at his word that he believes strengthening punishments and cracking down on those forced to the shadows will somehow help our city, but I don’t believe that. The crime wave we’re experiencing is a symptom of our city’s trauma, not the cause of it. There are so many who are starved for opportunity and equity. We force our people to choose between survival and legality and we’re aghast that they chose survival...it’s disingenuous. We need structures in place to build up those who are most vulnerable.



			Charli, looking a bit incredulous: And what do you believe WILL help our city, Mr. Rojas?



			Silas: We need legitimate pathways toward obtainable citizenship. We need opportunities to find work and--let’s be honest--find work that allows for a genuine work-life-balance. We need access to affordable care--both medical and mental healthcare services. We need clean water, air, and food. I know that the DA isn’t in charge of these things for Seattle and the UCAS at large, but he’s part of a system that treads on the rights of the metahumans here in the city and asks us to say thank you.
