"They steal from the old because they are easy targets."
Morvain spoke as she stared into Kael's eyes with an expressionless look on her face.
"…"
Kael narrowed his eyes at those words, and the Matriarch continued—
"These people have no one to talk to, neither do they have enough energy to complain about the rations they received anywhere. They simply take whatever is given to them silently.
On the other hand, if anyone else receives fewer rations than what they were expecting, the chances of them talking to the people they work with or usually talk to and figuring out that they have been cheated increase."
"So the old are targeted because they do not raise their voices, making it easier for the Provisioners to steal from them without getting caught."
Kael commented.
"It is the simple law of the world:
the easier the target, the more they will be targeted."
