It's not quite vengeance. It's just hard to give hope, to keep up the reassurances, with people who have often given up when you've run out of your own. I'm not naive; I know, always knew, that people died and the responsible parties weren't always brought to justice. But it's different when it happens to you.

I don't know... sometimes it feels like I might help her be at peace if I get justice for enough people. It's not the same as bringing her killer to justice, but it helps other people... keeps them from going through the same thing.
