An innocent unicorn is dead
An innocent unicorn who did nothing wrong besides wandering off where she shouldn't have
We need to put a stop to this
If it's that easy for ponies to die there this needs to stop

Twilight Sparkle was an extraordinary unicorn
I will freely admit that had her qualities been identified sooner she may have been treated differently
Perhaps she would have been given a privileged position at the Academy
The point is that access to the areas she reached is all but easy
Weak though those locks may seem few ponies ever have existed with the talents necessary to get through the barriers she crossed
Similar accidents are unlikely to happen again within the next few decades

So you're just going to let it continue
You're just going to let innocents die

If you knew of the alternative you would not speak in such tones
