2. 2

   The Unwritten Law

   The narrator reveals the 'true,' more difficult rule that their in-group actually adheres to, creating a clear contrast with the previously stated false premise.

   The Inevitable Consequence

   The narrator describes the predictable, negative outcome of following the Unwritten Law, framing it as an accepted part of the process.

4. 4

   The narrator scornfully rejects the logical, easier alternative, framing it as a violation of the group's core values or a sign of weakness.
