With what we currently know, that's my best guess.

Whether it's from Heaven or from Hell, that means it's likely already dead. So there's no real use killing it. Just making sure it can't do what it's done again.

[cupidsammo]

... Right. It wouldn't be able to just come back again if it was sent there?

[hotfixer]

Part of what we've been doing all these weeks closing in is making sure it can't return to the areas we've checked. I think it will be easier for God to keep it out once and for all when we know more about it, too.

[cupidsammo]

Hm... yeah. Well, I'll trust that if there's anyone who knows what they're doing about it, it's God themselves.

[hotfixer]

Thank you for the vote of confidence.

[ actually, she thinks this is an interesting thought experiment. ]

If it were up to you, how would you handle it?

[cupidsammo]

—Me? Ah, um...

[ thinking.... ]

Well... Normal people just put criminals in jail, right? So they can't go around and commit more crimes, so... maybe that?

[hotfixer]

I don't think that's a bad idea. The more dangerous you area, the less freedom you can be given.

[cupidsammo]

Right... After everything that it did, I'm not so sure I'd want it walking free. It's mad, right? So I'd be afraid of it trying again.

[hotfixer]

Then what about the people here who have killed before they died, or who killed during their time here without being influenced?

Should they be locked up as well?

[cupidsammo]

... Did someone kill without the influence?

[ <-- GUY WHO DID NOT REALLY TALK TO THE VOTED GUILTY,,, ]

[hotfixer]

Yes, multiple people.

[cupidsammo]

Huh?! ... And they're still allowed to walk free?!

[hotfixer]

I suppose so. Currently.

[cupidsammo]

[






CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THIS ]

[hotfixer]

Multiple people here had killed in life, too. You knew that, right?

[cupidsammo]

I— I did know that, at least...

[hotfixer]

But you see these things as different?

[cupidsammo]

[ ... ]

I don't know. I thought it just depended on the circumstances, but...

[hotfixer]

But if they hoped to receive a positive judgment and return to life, those circumstances would continue. In which case, an apple would likely be as justified a motivation as whatever their motivations were in life. Don't you think?

[cupidsammo]

I don't think I'm the best judge for this, come to think of it.

[hotfixer]

Me either. I'm really glad it's not up to me.

[cupidsammo]

Me too, but I guess this is why I'm not a god.

[hotfixer]

It seems very stressful.

[cupidsammo]

Maybe to us. Maybe they have a better idea how to handle these things?

[ smashcut to tomorrow ]

[hotfixer]

I think that God is very stressed. But it's because they care so much about everyone here.
