Oh, well, this activity...made sense. Ivy wasn't surprised that it had become a debate of sorts, and the first topic...wasn't bad. She had received the red card, and she didn't necessarily have a problem arguing the Ministry had been and could be corrupt at times. Her mum wasn't, she knew, but saying there was corruption didn't have to mean that everyone in the organization was bad, mainly the key players, the ones with influence and power, like Kale had mentioned in answer to an earlier question.

And it...was to be expected that certain events would come up during this class. She felt like she'd gotten better about handling it when it did. It didn't always make her want to run away. But despite that, for whatever reason, this time she was suddenly feeling a little bit antsy, her stomach a little uneasy, her hands nervously bending and unbending the red card she held.

And it wasn't like she disagreed with what Evan and Ashley and Kale had said, even with Ashley arguing for the "opposing" blue side. The infiltration of the Ministry was a clear event of corruption. The people coming to fight the battle, including those like her mum who worked in the Ministry, proved there was also good there, that it wasn't simply full of shadowy villains bent on world domination. And it was still also true that there were times of corruption throughout history, including previous wars. And she particularly agreed with Kale's point about the less-acknowledged heroes. It was the big names, the famous and influential, that got all the credit, which didn't seem fair. She wasn't anything close to a hero of course, but there were others here that were, in her opinion. And the Board of Governors had yet to do any of them any favors.

But she wasn't sure what else to add. There surely was more she could say to add to the Ministry corruption pile, but...she just didn't feel up to it, which didn't really help since it also sort of...reminded her of her own actions, or lack thereof, from that time, and Ivy felt even more frustrated with herself than she already was.

So instead of offering an answer, she stared at her card, folding and unfolding it over and over.
