[ She sighs, pressing her knuckles into her cheeks, nearly pouting. Back on Earth, when she'd thought about the new world - the one she could've created before she became a shard-bearer, and before that 'creation' was so literal - it had seemed so simple.

And, anyway, it won't matter, even if people still do bad things. [ A shake of her head. How to word it? In some kind of twisted way, Misa thinks it won't make too big a difference if rotten, corrupt people continue to exist in lessened numbers. ] I'd have a way to make sure all those people get punished. I'd make it so no one gets away with such horrible things anymore... And when people live in a world where justice always gets served, well, they stop doing evil. I've seen it happen in my own world... before I came here, or even to Horos, someone tried to change the world just like that. Crime dropped... the news used to say that if things kept going the way they were, even wars would eventually cease to exist.

Whether it's true or not, it's clear that Misa genuinely believes that the world can improve if set up in the way she describes - that whether people are truly "kind" or not, if the world is set up that cruelty and evil is always met with swift, permanent, and just punishment, the world will be safer, and kinder for it. All of that belief seems to rest on what she sees as empirical evidence. ]
