Ismene, you must understand that our brother deserves a proper burial. It's our duty to honor his life and show respect for the dead.
Antigone, I understand your pain, but I fear the consequences of defying the king's decree. We must obey the laws set forth by our ruler to maintain order and peace in our land.

But Ismene, this is about more than just the king's decree. It's about doing what is morally right. Our brother deserves to be laid to rest with dignity, and I cannot stand by and allow his body to be dishonored.
I share your grief, Antigone, but I cannot bear to see you risk your life for this cause. There are times when we must accept the laws of the state, even when they go against our personal beliefs.

I cannot accept that, Ismene. Our loyalty should be with our family and our conscience, not blindly following unjust laws. I am willing to face the consequences of my actions to uphold what is right.
Please, Antigone, reconsider. We cannot change the fate of our brother, but we can preserve the safety of our own lives. Let us mourn him in our hearts and honor his memory in our own way, without putting ourselves in danger.
I cannot turn away, Ismene. I must do what I believe to be right, no matter the cost. Our brother deserves better, and I will not rest until he receives the respect he deserves.
