"Excuse me, but it is my fight." Amelia's voice is no longerr soft. "It's everyone's fight. We were called here. We don't have any way home. This is our home too right now, and we have every right to fight for it. I don't want to throw myself into a 'line of fire,' like you say, but if that's what Justice demands, I would."

There are a lot of good questions that Amelia should perhaps be asking here, but Justice has started to creep into the conversation. Justice tends to supplant some things.
