Did you pay attention to their stories... AT ALL?! Wow. The MC went a little too far in a fight, but then again had he not, HE would have been the one who had the stuffing beat out of him (or worse). Emi was defending her friend who was suicidal... Ash on the other hand... maybe not so good.
I personally went to jail twice in my life for crimes I did not commit. One time some guy picked a fight with me in jail for no good reason and when I defended myself, HE got out the next day (with a dislocated shoulder) and I ended up in solitary confinement for defending myself, so not everyone who is punished is nessecarily some evil criminal out for no good. Until you have experienced such injustice, you can't understand that it happens... A LOT. I met a bank robber in jail and man, he was the nicest guy you ever want to meet! He just made a poor choice, was desperate, but he felt horrible for the fear he put the teller through. You would be amazed at how people REALLY are when you turn off your TV or computer and meet them in real life.
