In the aftermath of the disaster that had broken their city's back, the citizens of Limbic City--those who were left, those who were will still standing--started, slowly, to begin picking up the pieces. And then they stopped. They stopped, and instead just looked at each other; stood there that way just looking at each other, without speaking, in silence. They stood that way for a long time. And then they started talking. And this is what they said.
Okay. Half the reason this disaster happened is because of us. Because of how much we lie to each other, and cheat each other, and are strangers to each other. Meanwhile, all the problems our city has stay the same, and get worse; and we make this law and that law, more and more and more laws, and yet nothing ever changes. Enough. We've had enough of this shit, said the citizens of Limbic City. And so they decided to start over. They threw their enormous book of laws into the fire, and the 5 Laws--the Prime Law and the 4 Pillars--is what emerged from those flames and ashes.
