The Defenders of Allahabad > #3

In the heart of Allahabad, the local artifact market buzzes with activity. Vibrant stalls line the streets, displaying exquisite treasures from across the region.
Raj
Vikram, I see you lurking in the shadows. What brings you here today?
Vikram
Raj, I've been following your vigilante activities closely. Don't you think it's time to let the law handle criminals?
Raj
Vikram, sometimes the law takes too long to deliver justice. I believe in taking action to protect the innocent.
Vikram
But Raj, we have a justice system in place for a reason. Vigilante justice can lead to chaos and more harm than good.
Raj
I understand your concern, Vikram. But what about the victims who can't wait for the wheels of justice to turn? Don't they deserve immediate protection?
Vikram
Of course, they do, Raj. But there's a fine line between justice and vengeance. We must work within the confines of the law to ensure fairness and due process.
Raj
I respect your dedication to the law, Vikram. But sometimes, the law fails to deliver true justice. That's where I come in.
Vikram
You can't play judge, jury, and executioner, Raj. We need to trust the legal system and work towards improving it, not taking matters into our own hands.
Raj
Sometimes, Vikram, I feel like the system is stacked against us. We have to make a difference, right here, right now, in whatever way we can.
Vikram
I understand your frustration, Raj. But there's a reason we have checks and balances in place. Let the police do their job and bring criminals to justice.
Raj
Vikram, I respect your dedication to upholding the law. But together, we can find a balance between law and justice, between order and protecting the innocent.
Vikram
Perhaps you're right, Raj. Let's find a way to work together and bring about meaningful change, without compromising the values we hold dear.
Through their intense conversation, Raj and Vikram reach a mutual understanding and appreciation for each other's viewpoints. Their differing perspectives become the driving force behind their future partnership, as they navigate the complex world of justice and the law.
