Quote #4
"I watched as that kid died. In his last few seconds there was pure terror in his eyes. You can't do that. You can't do that to a person." (20.46)
Oh, but WICKED did do that to Chuck. Thomas's pain here reveals how traumatizing it was for him to watch his best friend die—and how purely unethical it was for WICKED to have Chuck killed.
Quote #5
"I don't think there is a right or wrong anymore... Only horrible and not-quite-so-horrible." (22.25)
Refer to our "Why Should I Care?" section, folks. The choice between right and wrong doesn't seem to apply to Thomas and his friends anymore—they've just got a choice between wrong and more wrong. These situations are very real, and can be the absolute worst.
