The girl seems to contemplate it all for a moment - perhaps what Silco just said, perhaps her own answer to the question he just asked - and then shrugs.

"I never thought a whole lot about justice." Not in the general sense of the word, anyway. If justice existed in Ange's life, it was always more as a personal thing, considering the only thing that could bring justice in her own situation was taking a very personal vengeance. She can't view the world kindly enough to assume that a concept like justice truly exists.

So, rather than that, it's more--

"I think you're right though." Not about justice necessarily, but she finds a lot of her own thoughts reflected in the words the other is saying here. Surprisingly enough, considering how new Silco must be. He can't even have seen much of this place yet, even admits as much, and yet he seems to have figured out some similar things already. "We're trapped here by something more powerful than us. A witch, or whatever that supernatural entity wants to call itself."

Does she have direct proof? No, but all signs of this situation point towards it. Just no direct evidence.

"And that entity is just toying with us. Because-- like you said. They think it's fun to mess around with people with less power than them." Ange pulls her shoulders up into another shrug. Perhaps she looks a touch too young to already be speaking as cynically as him, but the words flow out of her mouth easily. "I think the whole story about how we have to be punished for crap we did is just a coverup for them wanting to mess with people for fun. Some people claim they haven't even actually committed the stuff they were accused of by this place."
