Ramses' Moral Dilemma (2) : : A Freewrite

As Ramses grew increasingly tangled in the convoluted web of the underground realm, he became increasingly wracked with moral distress. The initial fascination of financial independence had evaporated, replaced by an escalating anxiety. The decisions he made now left deep indelible imprints on his conscience.

His place in the network necessitated him to obtain and circulate the "excessive" items and services that their customers desired. These were exchanges that operated in a questionable legality, and Ramses couldn't avoid feeling guilty for engaging in engagements that he understood were morally dubious.

Ramses was presented with a deep moral quandary concerning a certain transaction. The object of desire was a remarkable rarity, in high demand, yet purported to have been pilfered. The potential consumer was prepared to remunerate a considerable amount but Ramses was unable to ignore the oppressive sentiment that he was, perhaps, enabling the perpetration of an illegal act.

He convened with Plato to bring forward his apprehensions, the culpability mounting on him. "Plato," he initiated, "I'm dubious about this deal. If this creation was indeed pilfered, we'd be enabling a misdeed."
