I think the extra time just made the tension worse, if anything.

[rippled]

No, I agree. More hurt feelings, because people had more time to argue and realize their feelings weren't reaching everyone.

[purities]

Yes. And in all likelihood, next week will be worse. People will only grow more attached to each other with time.

[rippled]

... true. More defensive and protective, and willing to swear on their life that so and so would never do something like that.

[ they sigh ]

I am not looking forward to this.

[purities]

Neither am I. [it is going to be insufferable...] You know, we never figured out why the people in the market had a sore stomach.

[rippled]

Ah, you're right.

... I wonder if they got walked on... but that would require all of them sleeping on their backs.

[purities]

Yes. Not to mention, Yves claimed to have felt no such thing. Firefly's account of the night offer no explanation for any of it.

[rippled]

I wonder if it was just meant to distract us, but we actually moved on fairly quickly from it...?

[ which

actually isn't great even though it worked out....? ]

[purities]

It's possible. Not like we have any other explanation for it.

[rippled]

Yeah... ah, it's frustrating.

It worked out this time, but what if something like that really messes things up the next?

[purities]

Right. Not to mention, we may have set a precedent today.

[rippled]

Mm... we will know for sure if a situation like this occurs again, but I do wonder if the people involved may also affect things. Who is killed, who is being accused...

[purities]

I'm sure it would. Everyone has their biases.

[rippled]

Well, as long as those biases don't get in the way.

[ they are thinking of all the times people started going NO KILL ME INSTEAD and gazing ]

[purities]

They will.
