The doll continued to weird Kaiden out, but they were starting to get used to the thing. The blood on the child didn't make the mershark blink, especially given the blood they still had on themselves. But the question? Well, that was a tough one.
Kaiden fell silent for a moment, trying to determine how to explain this. "In the game of life, where survival is how you win. Some people kill for no reason. Killing should be hunting for food or defending yourself. But there are people out there who kill just to kill. They enjoy it too much to limit themselves to necessity."
The mershark paused before adding, "And if it comes to competing for food or space, then you might have to fight someone for them. And fights can be to the death sometimes. Someone might also just be really angry at you and lash out. Or they might just not like you on an extreme level." Kaiden nodded in approval of their explanation. "Those are some of the reasons why a person might try to kill you."
Kaiden glanced at the doll before refocusing on the brat, "That's why you must become strong. Strong enough to hunt, to fight and to kill. So that you survive and win."
