[John gets a flat look for the remark about the shards.] No shit.

Then how are you expecting to get that many shards? The war would've been over a hell of a lot faster if more than a few people on either side were inclined towards mass slaughter, and it's not something I've ever been interested in.

[The moment he found out the primary way for either side to win was to slaughter the other, Bellamy tuned out from the court system. Individually, could he take someone else's shard? Probably; he knows he's capable of killing. But a whole mass of people? It leaves a bad taste in his mouth.]
