That's what I believed, also. When I had just been brought to Haven, when I was alone here and did not know anyone else, I believed that signing a contract was something I would do for myself, and for everyone. That it would have nothing to do with my loved ones who were still at home in Night Vale. That it would have nothing to do with the friends I had not yet made.
I believed that when I signed my name to that page and agreed to do whatever I was told against the weight of my existence. I continued to believe that until a secret of theirs was stolen from me, and broadcasted across the monitored cell phone network. I believed it until they brought my Carlos here for three days... and then took him away again.
They will use your loved ones from home. They will ask you to betray your friends, and if you do, what will Korra say? And if you do not, what will the corporation do?
Someone I love told me once, "We are nothing to them but a means to an end, toys to be played with until we're broken. Whatever you think they can give to you, whatever you think they can do for you, they will not." He told me that, but the advice came too late for me to take. I didn't listen to him, anyway.
Be very careful, Mako. Be very careful of what you decide, and be very sure that you'll be able to live with the results of your decision. It isn't your life that you are giving them when you sign your name to that page.
