"Growing up, we were taught that the Fire Nation was the greatest civilization in history. And somehow, the War was our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world. What an amazing lie that was. The people of the world are terrified by the Fire Nation. They don't see our greatness. They hate us! And we deserve it! We've created an era of fear in the world. And if we don't want the world to destroy itself, we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness."
Marching and heiling, heiling and marching, Hans grows up. In him is planted no seed of laughter, hope, tolerance or mercy. For him only heiling and marching, marching and heiling as the years grind on. Manhood finds him still heiling and marching, but the grim years of regimentation have done their work. Now he's a good Nazi. He sees no more than what the Party wants him to. He says no more than what the Party wants him to say. And he does nothing but what the Party wants him to do. And so he marches on, with his millions of comrades, trampling on the rights of others. For now, his education is complete. His education for... death.

Scar is gone, but Zira's still around
To love this little lad
Till he learns to be a killer
With a lust for being bad
To love this little lad
Till he learns to be a killer
With a lust for being bad
Sisters and brothers learn how to hate
From the day we're born
If we pick up each other, strip it away
We'd see there's so much more
From the day we're born
If we pick up each other, strip it away
We'd see there's so much more

He's born to shimmer, he's born to shine
He's born to radiate
He's born to live, he's born to love
But we'll teach him how to hate
He's born to radiate
He's born to live, he's born to love
But we'll teach him how to hate

Michela McFarlane: So you admit it. Now, calm down and tell us bit by bit. First, what was your motive for targeting Katie?
Annie Mackley: …M-my family are proper mages. I was taught that pro–civil rights people and demi-human lovers are a blight on the magical community.
Oliver Horn: So you simply didn’t like her philosophy? (Mackley nods)
Katie Aalto: Then say it to my face! Why would you go and spring a surprise attack on me?
