Sounds like excuses to me. And it doesn't absolve them of torturing me, either.
No, I'm not a person to them. That's why I said they have no humanity in them. They don't care. They used me for whatever they needed, and then they let me die. So let's stop talking about why people work for them like that makes any part of what they did to me okay. It doesn't. They still chose to destroy me.
