I don't think so. Here, they have locked up the good people and let the bad free.
[She looks pointedly at Nero. She knows exactly what he's doing, exactly how he's trying to wheedle and cajole her. Like calls to like and bad calls to bad.] Well, mostly, anyway, Sir. They got me, didn't they? But I think I am the only rotter they caught.
[She looks away, breaking her accusing gaze from Nero to look down at the dirt floor between them. She feels her stomach drop when Nero asks his question. Suddenly, the 'Sweetie's, the 'pretty girl's seem sickly, It's a front. Eponine knows it, always knew that he had wanted someone. No one would call her pretty, not when they could see Susan or Alina or Relena or others. But Eponine likes it all the same, even if it is a front, even if he's just saying it to get her onside. At least he wants her. She looks up again, back at Nero, but her shoulders drop and she chews the inside of her lip.]
I'm not a murderer, Sir. A lot of bad things I am, but I ain't never taken a life. Anyway, she is bigger and stronger than me, Sir. I have nought but my own hands in here. How can I kill Julie with those?
