Quote Analysis: Derek Landy on Ethics and Identity

The final line, "Annis, you're a unique individual," serves as a wry acknowledgment of the character's unconventional reasoning and identity. It underscores themes of individuality and moral ambiguity, emphasizing that traditional norms are questioned and redefined within the character's worldview. Overall, the quote invites reflection on ethics, survival, and what truly counts as "barbaric" behavior.
