The girls all gazed upwards and saw a massive stone building surrounded by a tall iron fence with barbed wire on top of it. It was also guarded by several high guard towers. As they stared downwards, they noticed a lot of people in identical uniforms walking around the courtyard and performing various tasks.

"What is this place?" Twilight asked, unable to make heads or tails of the sight before her.

"Ponies of Equestria, I present to you..." Inhio held his arms up in front of him with his palms facing the sky. "The biggest prison in this city."

"A prison?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "We walked all this way just so you could show us a prison?"

"And the people that inhabit it," Inhio added.

"Why?"

"If you would recall the last day, while you were still all only voices in a crystal ball, you asked me a few questions that I said I would answer later," Inhio reminded them. "About profanity, violence, theft and even murder."

"Yes...I remember now," Twilight replied in a slightly shaky voice.

"You've already seen the profanity in this world for yourself...Most of the time, the other three get people here."

Twilight walked closer and touched the fence as she began to count the people in the courtyard. "There are so many of them...You can't mean to tell me that-"

"I do," Inhio interrupted. "Every time you look at someone in this place, you're likely to be looking at either a murderer, bandit or thief...among people guilty of various other crimes."

"There's hundreds of them in here...how can this be?" Twilight asked in shock and turned towards Inhio. "The prison back in Equestria have only ever known a few individual souls, but this!..." Twilight turned her attention back towards the prison inmates. "This...how many people do you think have died because of them?"

"Probably at least twice as many as there are in here."

"What!?" Twilight shouted in disbelief. "But...that doesn't make any sense!...How can-"

"Doesn't it?" Inhio counter questioned her. "There's no sacred law that binds a man to being able to take the life of only a single other person...As far as I know, most of these people are serial killers." Inhio paused for a moment to let Twilight's mind process this information, right before adding a few more frightening words. "And that's just one prison."

"What!?"

"There are multitudes of these facilities throughout the world, and all of them hold hundreds of guilty criminals."

The more things Inhio revealed about his world, the scarier it started seeming. Additionally, asking questions became harder every time...either because they were afraid to ask them, or simply because they couldn't figure out which one to ask, for they had dozens.

"Well...most of them guilty, at least," Inhio slyly added.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rainbow Dash asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We live in a corrupted world that runs on a corrupted system, which is maintained by corrupted people, Miss Dash...Every now and then, someone completely innocent, or merely guilty of something like self-defense also finds his way into one of these facilities."

"That's absurd!" Twilight shouted. "How can-" Twilight suddenly got interrupted by a prisoner that rammed the part of the fence where she was standing and laughed wickedly. "Aagh!" she screamed as she nearly fell off her feet.

"Move a little closer, lovelies." The crazed man licked his lips while eyeballing Twilight. "I promise not to bite...much...he he he."

The prisoner continued watching them closely as they took a few steps backwards and then followed Inhio away from there.

"Do come back again some day, will ya? It gets boring with just the guys around here all the time!" the man shouted at them as they hurried away from him.

"Eaugh!" Twilight shook from disgust.

"What was his problem?"

"The mind of someone who kills for pleasure is a mystery even to me," Inhio sadly replied.

"Wait...did you just say for pleasure?" unsure of whether she had heard Inhio right, Rainbow Dash re-asked.

"Indeed, I did."

"As in...they don't even do it for power or any sort of material gain? They just do it because they enjoy it?"

Inhio nodded at her.

"Didn't they know they'd be sent here?"

"Maybe they didn't, maybe they did but simply didn't care."

"How...What..wh..." Rainbow Dash was at a complete loss of words. "I don't even know where to begin...There's just so much wrong with what you just said..."

"Like I said, Rainbow Dash - The mind of someone who kills for pleasure is a mystery even to me." Inhio repeated himself.

No more questions followed after Inhio's last statement. The walking continued for some time, after which Inhio stopped near a tall gate that surrounded a large mansion.

"Please tell me this isn't another prison..." Twilight said with a touch of fear in her tone.

"No," Inhio immediately replied.

"Phew." Twilight wiped her forehead.

"This is the place where I'd be in right now if I tried to tell someone who the six of you really are."

"Huh?" All six girls got utterly confused.

"This, my friends, is what we call an asylum...A home for the crazed and the demented."

All six pony girls stared at the large building with wide eyes and raised eyebrows as they tried to make sense of Inhio's words.

"But...you're not crazy," Twilight finally spoke up.

"Not in their eyes."

"How so?"

"Silly thing about humans, Twilight, is that we are forced deny everything we can't understand. Those that don't are dubbed crazy by the world."

"I don't understand..."

"Basically..." Inhio switch to a more blunt approach. "If you see something unnatural and try to tell someone about it, they'll think you're crazy."

"That's stupid," Rainbow Dash said after a moment of silence.

"Agreed," Rarity added.

"Tell me about it," Inhio also agreed. "It's only obvious that not all of the people in here are actually insane."

"This place doesn't look too bad, though," Twilight added after a moment spent observing the mansion.

"Only from the outside," Inhio rejected.

"So what's it like on the inside?"

"Sick," Inhio summed up his thoughts in a single word. "With the system with which they treat the people in there, it almost seems as though they want them to be crazy!" Inhio lost his composure and suddenly seemed frustrated. "They lock them up in small rooms and strap them into devices that prevent them from talking or moving their arms! And as if that wasn't enough, they constantly interrogate them with stupid questions that don't really have any right answers!"

"That's awful!" Twilight exclaimed. "Why would they do that?"

"To make sure they never get out," Inhio sadly admitted. "The questions they ask are based off of the things they said when they first came here," Inhio explained. "For example - if I went in there and said I've seen aliens, they would lock me up for some time and then ask me question like what did you really see back then?" Inhio kept on explaining.

"At that point, you're already trapped. If you keep insisting that you saw aliens back then, they immediately throw you back into your chamber, and if you say you didn't see anything back then, then they ask you what made you think that you saw them...Either way, you're going back into your cell."

"That's insane!" Twilight yelled and slammed her fists against the fence. "They're the ones that should be put in there for robbing those people of their freedom like that!"

Inhio slowly walked up to the infuriated girl and whispered, "Come on...We've been here long enough."

Twilight hesitated to follow. She felt both disgust and anger inside her whenever she stared at this place.

Inhio slowly reached for one of her fists and softly grabbed it. Twilight stared at him with a sad expression as she released her fist and took Inhio's hand. After calming her anger, she finally agreed to follow him.

Inhio rallied them up and led the way forward again.

"So where to now?"

"I think we've seen enough of the crazier places for one day...Lets try visiting one of the places for common people, for a change."
