I would also like for my Saturdays to go differently.

At least it wasn't as bad as it could've been...? We were thinking we might be looking for three people.

I don't know how to be optimistic about the situation today. I'm sorry.

...Fuck, we're really in dire straits, huh.

... Only one culprit is a good thing, I suppose. But when they can hurt so many, what difference does that make? The number of people hurt was still too high.

[ and also. it being these specific people. ]

Almost feels like making a point. Like, haha, look how bad it can get even with just one culprit! Deal with it!

[a roll of her eyes.]

...Hey, is there any reason you guys don't just shoo us all out to the 'healing center' or whatever so you can put this place on full lockdown? Salt the earth or whatever to root this thing out?

["wis'adel people die to do that" yeah. and.]

That would seem in line with what we've seen, lately.

[ but... ]

People have to be killed here to go to the Healing Center, and for the time being, can't come back. Their transportation has been broken down. I worry that sending everyone to a locked room would create new problems better addressed from both sides at once.

[ also she doesn't think 'lets all kill each other' sounds like a good plan. generally. ]

But if that did get fixed, that might be feasible, right?

[like. if they could get back, then at that point, why NOT. you can kill people in ways that aren't traumatizing and suck shit.]

I'm just sick of whatever this is doing whatever it wants!

Feasible, I suppose, in the sense that we could do it.

But I don't know that it resolves the problem. The root cause needs to be dealt with. Otherwise, perhaps with transportation open again between both sides, the same thing would just continue in either location.
