In stories, it is the author who determines what is justified and what is not. Within the confines of the story, the author's view IS objective truth. In life, when actions are seen as justified, it means that everyone agrees with the reasons behind the actions. In stories, reasons don't count. Even if all the characters agree with the reasons, the author might show that all the characters were wrong.
Reasons just explain why characters act as they do.
