I don't know. I can't imagine she would. I mean, fuck, like you said. If anyone was going to pass a test for good behaviour, I'd be betting top dollar on her.
[He shakes his head.]
I think it's more that...maybe there was another option they weren't warned about. Or, we're in a state of being we haven't been warned about. Less dead than we imagined, maybe.
Yeah. [He shakes his head.] Imagine missing your chance on redemption because you slipped and cracked your head on a toilet.
[That would be the joke to end all jokes, wouldn't it?]
...I don't know that we'll hear everything we want to hear either. Whenever they do see fit to fill us in. Whether it's because the angels are also surprised, or...it's a built in feature. Whatever happened to her. How it happened.
[He plucks his thumb against the side of the shot glass.]
Where were you at last night? Was anyone with you?
No, I was by myself. I got trapped on the stairs, so since Charlie started inside there, she would have needed to get past where I was... so the barrier went down at some point?
And she would have had to step over all ten of us to get out of the damn showers first. We got locked in all at once.
[He frowns.]
Yeah, maybe everything opened up after we conked out. Or maybe it didn't. Someone could have opened it for her, maybe? Led her along a little?
[He puts his chin in his hand.]
I mean I don't like that theory, but I don't like any theory I've heard or come up with in the last few hours. I feel like we're spinning in circles. We're trying to write a manuscript with half a box of Scrabble tiles — fucking useless, without more facts.
Mm. If anything, the idea that she just passed naturally seems the least likely, because there were too many other oddities that happened right before.
[ someone dies after they couldn't leave anywhere? definitely not a coincidence. ]

[ they used a specific word for why they can get revived and other people can't in the npc intros, but i am too lazy to go find it. ]
It does make all the chaos everyone was doing more concerning. Just one wrong move...

So, was it pre-planned, then?
