From A to Z in the InCryptid Alphabet: N.

N is for NECESSITY.

No one chooses this sort of life because they're bored, or because they have nothing better to do. They do it because this is the sort of thing that needs doing, and sometimes, necessity is what gets to drive the boat. They do it because it's not right for the weak to be dominated by the strong, or for wrongs to go unavenged...or for unicorns to die for nothing. They do it because there's not really a choice, not when you get down to the bottom of things.

They do it because sometimes you do what's right, no matter what it takes...no matter what it costs you. And in this business, sometimes what it costs you is going to be everything.

True.
Though sometimes, when I wake up in horrible pain and I can't stand up straight or walk without a stick, I wonder if that particular family was worth it.
