[ i don't want to do more audiences in candyland right now so she's coming out of the convenience store with a can of iced tea, spotting anders and giving him a little wave. ]
I feel like giving you all network access was both our best and worst idea, sometimes. [ she is clearly teasing, but. ]
You do seem to inspire other people to respond against their better judgment, I'll give you that. [ but. ] You and Shadowheart both. It's what we could all use for the moment though.
It means you all haven't lost your fighting spirit yet, which is encouraging. Not that I thought you would, but if we keep the energy up while we're working to solve this, we stand a better chance. Less complacency.
[ ...and she shrugs. ]
Besides, I would rather see you all get your energy out in those arguments than lost time elsewhere. [ like trials. ]
I am thinking that we likely lost our chance to find them the moment the trial ended, and we had not had the chance to look at all of the evidence.
I am thinking that if I had any indication on who they were, I would have no choice but to act. Because I think it is likely they will hurt someone else very soon.
It's scary to think there's someone among you who might not be in full control of themselves, and not knowing when it might come up again. But it's not like we haven't thought the same ourselves. If someone was afflicted, there's a chance this won't be the last time. But we also don't know enough about it to say if it will or won't either. That's... the other problem.
[ she considers a few questions, but chooses not to ask any of them. ]
... I don't want to see you hurt in the process. [ but she won't tell him he shouldn't act either because she believes in people making the choices to protect other people. ]
[ normally she would say this is a very edgelord thing to say, but this man is full of trauma so it's fine. ]
I would hate to see that be less true, but I trust you to know some of your own limits. [ but she frowns. ] They can't hide forever. The truth always comes out, doesn't it?
About who might be afflicted? [ ... ] With the way this works, I think it's difficult for any of us to tell. Especially after the fact. If you were a wolf in sheep's clothing, wouldn't you do your best to blend in?

[ he means this in a justice-y I am not of mortal men way, but also, he has so much trauma. what's a little more. laughs in cyoa week. ]
As it stands, I don't know who it could be. And that is my failing as well.
