Um... train.

[ which is harder to do at the moment while injured but. ]

[smokeandglasses]

[Look down at Saber's injuries.]

...ah. Kind of hard to do now.

[rippled]

Just a bit.

[ they laugh. ]

... I was helping Waner train. It's a little depressing to think about it now.

[smokeandglasses]

[Ah.]

...I taught her how to make chocolate. It seemed like she had a lot she wanted to learn.

[It really is a little depressing to think about now.]

[rippled]

She was very smart. I would say I wish it wasn't her, but... I think we can say that about anyone here.

[smokeandglasses]

Mmm. I can't think of anyone here I would want to see gone.

[Maybe Justice. But you can't get rid of Justice without getting rid of Anders, so that's a no-go.]

[rippled]

It really doesn't seem like this is going to end any time soon, though...

[ and it really will just get worse as people bond more. ]

[smokeandglasses]

Well, regardless of how it ends, it will end in five more weeks. The angels told me the first few days here that this was only going to last eight weeks.

[rippled]

How many of us are even going to be left by then?

It's hard to be happy about any sort of redemption knowing how many aren't going to get it.

[smokeandglasses]

Assuming one person murdered and one person executed every week over the next five weeks, 22. If more people kill, then less.

[He's done the math far too many times lately.]

[rippled]

So, at least half...

[ they sigh. ]

What do you think about whatever is going on?

[smokeandglasses]

Well, I heard a theory that this could all be related to the seven deadly sins. What do you think about that?

[rippled]

I heard it being talked about... gluttony and lust and... all that...

[smokeandglasses]

Well so far, each week the person affected by some force has had the mentality of one of those sins. Hawke was absolutely pride, and from Neverah's reaction after the vote I think she was wrath.

[rippled]

Are we going down the whole list then? Jing Yuan was... sloth?

[smokeandglasses]

Apparently he killed because he was bored, so...?

[rippled]

Hm... I will assume Sloth still, because the people who knew him said that it was extremely out of character for him to do that.

[smokeandglasses]

I'm guessing all of these murders were out of character to some extent. Take a personal trait, exemplify it to the point where it becomes a sin, and let them run wild. Or something like that.

[rippled]

... it's such a headache for us. For something like that, we can't rule out people based on what they would or wouldn't normally do.
