Kim, I tried reasoning with evil. Many times! During my time with Star, I realized that not all monsters actually are evil, and not all bad people really want to be bad. And sometimes reasoning with them works but other times....
[He stops the cutting, setting the paper and scissors down and turning so he can look Kim in the face while he talks.]
Look, we had two villains that we fought with constantly. Ludo and Toffee. Over time, we learned that Ludo was just a sad, pathetic guy who didn't really want to hurt anybody as much as he said, and Star and I don't really feel any anger towards him for all of the stuff he did in the end. After all that happened he threw himself into some kind of void to try and find himself again and I guess as a punishment or whatever for what he did. That was good, right?
Toffee on the other hand was someone who was just... truly evil. He could convince anyone of anything, and pretend like he was trustworthy to get you to bend to his will. And... because Star's mother fell for his lies, and she was feeling desperate, she tried to reason with him.
It nearly got Star killed. And I'm scared Randall is just another Toffee.
im so sorry for all these Spoilers
