[ WP ] At the end of a Dystopian Young Adult novel , the hero succeeds with his uprising . But as it turns out , the totalitarian dystopian society was a perfect utopia all along . He/she just fucked everything up . Our hero tries to justify everything that he/she has done .

He fell as fast as the gunshot that killed him. The `` supreme leader'' was no more. Thousands of gasps filled the air, and I stood up to the podium to address what I assumed would be an overjoyed crowd. 
 
 `` What have you done!?'' a woman shouted, tears streaming down her face. `` Why would you do this? I LOVED HIM.'' Still in the mindset that everyone was conditioned to love their immortal deity of a leader, I tried convincing the woman that she no longer had to fear. `` It's okay, you're safe now. All of you are safe, all of you are free!'' I stared into the crowd, and received a thousand stares in return. Some looked heartbroken, some enraged, others in shock, unable to comprehend why their benevolent and kindly leader had been assassinated. 
 
 The silence had almost become to much to bear. I was expecting applause, instead I was left with the feeling I just ruined the lives of millions. Suddenly, one of my former revolutionaries stepped up to the podium. I heard the screams of true fear. Dread of what is to come. It ended almost as quickly as it began though, the crowd unexpectedly surrounded by the armed hordes of prisoners I'd freed. 
 
 `` You can all thank this hero right here for busting me out.'' He burst into a hoarse laugh. `` That was a nice hero of the people performance you put on pal. Nearly believed it myself!'' I did n't understand. That's what hurt the most, not the fact that I just endangered the lives of so many, but that I did n't even know why. I had to know. I could live with myself if I just knew what I did wrong. `` Please, tell me what's going on. Why are you doing this?'' The man seemed genuinely confused. `` Kid, you broke out the entire prison, what did you think was gon na happen?'' 
 
 `` Wait, I only did that because I thought I was freeing innocent civilians who were unfairly charged!'' Everyone's expression changed. The once despairing audience had a look of pure incomprehension. One member of the crowd shouted `` What the hell is wrong with you? Ever since our glorious leader perfected the criminal justice system, only the guilty have been imprisoned, and only the worst of the worst. Everyone else is rehabilitated!'' 
 
 `` Wait-'' I stammered, `` Are you telling me you were okay with the constant surveillance, heavily armed drones, and mandatory injections with ambiguous purpose?'' Several cries were heard from the audience, ranging from `` The cameras are for pure security. No one even watches the recordings anymore!'' to `` The drones only fire non-lethal anesthetics!'' and `` The injections have eliminated all the previously common and harmful diseases!'' 
 
 This was when I realized that freeing dangerous criminals, and then disabling a nation's security and health systems is n't the best idea.
