If they're willing to trust me in their heads, I'm game.
[ Her easy forthrightness remains steady. Anderson wouldn't blame anyone for turning her down. Back home, she doesn't have the luxury of letting people decide if they want her in their heads or not, and she's happy to follow local laws and leave whether that remains optional up to the governing bodies.
She's an enforcer, not a legislator, that's for sure. ]
Well... [ She hesitates a moment, but ultimately Anderson doesn't mind sharing her thoughts, she just isn't used to anyone with authority caring. ] It wouldn't work for everyone. Some people... their crimes aren't something they can come back from. [ A little flatter here, softer. ] But not every perpetrator is like that. Sometimes it's just-- the way their life fell out, and they were backed into a corner. If healing their minds can help them see things differently, maybe they won't do what they did again.
[ The whole idea is heretical to the mission of the Hall of Justice. But she's always been a bit of a heretic. ]
I'm not sure yet the limits of what I could do. [ Or what the ethics of this would be. That's the sort of thing Anderson is only just starting to tentatively take on for herself as her own concern, rather than an immaterial question determined by points of law. ]
