[ i hate this so much i nearly didn't tag you back ]

Trying's the least we can do. We can't help at all when it comes to this thing.

[exercisms]

[swan smile]

The Realm. . .

Do you know why it's like this? Why it keeps forcing things to happen?

[retellers]

The Realm doesn't think of things the way we do. It sees... patterns and assumptions, and works off of that. Memories. It doesn't understand feelings or morality, really.

[exercisms]

[This is. . . the first explanation of the Realm he's kind of been able to understand.]

Is there any way we could change the patterns?

[retellers]

[ they seem happy mob seems to get it tbh ]

Maybe? But it definitely won't work if people keep killing each other, ughhhh. [ they hide their face in their hands ]

[exercisms]

Ugh.

[He doesn't react dramatically, but he agrees.]

Killing people is bad.

[retellers]

Right? How is that so hard to understand!

[exercisms]

Swan. . .

Do you know about whether anyone told Viridian-san something that encouraged them to kill?

[retellers]

... Virid implied he was asked to kill. But the only person who could've done that would have to be his Leader.

[exercisms]

Do you think that's true? Do you think Viridian-san's leader told him to do something like that?

[retellers]

It's awful, but it's the only thing that makes sense. I just... don't understand why they'd do it.

[exercisms]

I know you aren't able to tell me, but do you know who Viridian-san's leader was?

[retellers]

If I did, I'd have taken them down weeks ago.

[ possibly by bodily tackle. ]

[exercisms]

[Swan is actually so valid.]

. . . Mm. In the voting, we have to try and guess what team somebody is on, right?

How come? There's no way to know something like that!

[retellers]

I have... no idea? I guess the Realm really wants you guys to figure it all out, but I think just getting the actual culprit is good enough.

[exercisms]

If we got that all right, would something happen?

[retellers]

Well, some people get nova while voting, so that might be it?

[exercisms]

Nova. . .

How do you know if you get that?

[retellers]

Well, you might not notice yourself, but we know when our teams collect them. So people have been gathering some nova around the time of trial end, which coincides with the voting. That's how we know.

[exercisms]

So it's possible somebody guessed Viridian-san's leader, but they wouldn't know?

[retellers]

Right. And it's possible some people voted for the right culprit yesterday, but they wouldn't know that either.

[exercisms]

But Wolf and Rabbit's teams keep doing the best. . .

[retellers]

[

swan's entire body droops and they sigh ]

I knoooow...

[ they sound so bummed out ]

[exercisms]

Oh, sorry.

[Sorry Team Swan sucks!!!!]

I just meant. . . does that mean maybe people on those teams got the voting right?

[retellers]

[ if they could read this meta text they'd be so mad but they stop drooping and whining instead ]

Oh, probably that's part of it.
