I wouldn't be so sure about that... he's capable of lying. What he said at the execution didn't match up with what he said the night before, or at the trial. And he seemed to like the idea of all of us turning on each other...

[she just doesn't trust that robot as far as she can throw him anymore.]

...we better not. Once was bad enough.

[commedia]

What, it is? What an advanced metal doll. The fact that it could lie like any human...hm! And what did it say the night before?

[HK YOUR LYING???????]

...Mmm. If it happens again, though, it might give us clues as to what happened during Kaz's death. And it might be the same murderer. But I'm not eager for that.

[shiftingwinds]

When I asked about the first week, he said he hadn't been given any instructions to kill people. But he sure made it sound like he did at the execution, right?

[when she was too wounded to contradict him, even!]

...I'd like to figure out what happened to him, but I definitely don't want someone else to have to die for us to do it. I just wish there was some better way.

[commedia]

It did, yes. I certainly believed it.

[Probably others did, too.]

Have you asked the Avatars anything? All they tell me is that to look at the clues we have...

[shiftingwinds]

I might have believed him if he hadn't told me something different the night before. I... I think he's just trying to rile people up. Everything else so far, our indulgences and all, it's been about things we choose to do, right...?

[she sighs.]

That's what they keep telling me, too.

[commedia]

...

[Douman heaves a sigh, letting themselves slump back against the bench.]

In this mess of lies and indulgences, its any wonder we'll succeed.

[shiftingwinds]

I'm getting really tired of failing.

I don't want to fail again.

[commedia]

...

[A strange look crosses across Douman's face. Almost...bittersweet?]

I feel the same way.

[shiftingwinds]

[aND THEN THEY FAILED AGAIN.]

...then... this time for sure. We'll get it right.

[lol no they won't]
