Ever heard of truth serum?

Ooh, good idea! We should try to get our hands on some of that.

Do you think it's something we could get from the Avatars if we're really good?

There's only one way to find out!

I'm counting on you.

I'll do my best!

Even one dose would be pretty useful, honestly.

It would - it would be really nice to know for sure that someone is telling the truth.

[ ah. she raises a hand and pats sqx's arm, gently ]

Yeah. It would be really nice.

[she smiles faintly]

...ahaha, well, we've got something to try now, at least.

Better than nothing. Maybe one of these ideas will work out?

And if they don't, we just have to come up with a new one! ...it'll be alright.

Right. If we throw enough ideas at the wall, one of them will work.

Exactly! The only way we know for sure that something won't work is if we don't try anything at all.

Maybe someone will confess if we pretend to have truth serum?

[ bluff it out of them ]

[she laughs]

Ahaha, maybe!

Like how if you give someone and pretend it's alcoholic, they'll think they're really getting drunk.

...what, is that a thing?

Yeah. It's, um... [ she has to think about it, snapping her fingers ] Placebo effect? I read about it in a book.

I see... interesting. Well, I guess our minds can convince us of anything.
