"My job is to maintain peace and order in this city." the officer said forcefully, the shadowy lines on his face angling down and out below his dark eyes. "I don't make the rules, I enforce them. I don't care what they are, as long as they are followed." His last words were slow and deliberate. Then his tone softened, though his expression remained the same.
"How do you think I've retained this position? Hm? How do you think I've held off the countless bloodthirsty, backstabbing, corrupt, sadistic, conniving bastards loyal to our leader's every whim? Because I do what I'm told. Nothing more, nothing less." It was clear this soldier was no willfully ignorant pawn. But he was also no knight.
A punch-clock villain? Moral mook? Anti-villain? Villainous hero? Or just another cog in the machine.
