I am not sure if "recall" or "forget" are the right words... but I don't fully understand how technology works.

[recrowns]

In truth, I'm not clear on it either.

[he knows enough that he thinks goat is wrong but that's okay, points for effort]

But I understand the sentiment. So there's no longer any merit in me admitting to anything.

[retellers]

Only if it would bring you any comfort to, I suppose.

[recrowns]

Maybe at the end.

[he's

in no rush]

Some may still feel it more morally righteous to condemn someone who took a life at all, and I'm not looking to be anyone's first choice for death.

[retellers]

... Mm. In the absence of answers, people will look to what is easiest.

[recrowns]

Likely so - and I don't intend on becoming someone that they'll choose to vote for simply because it's pragmatic.

[though he doesn't sound judgmental - he expects that much. and it's because he expects it that he intends to avoid it]

Rather, I think it more pressing to find more answers about who harmed Cater.

Could you tell me if you directed someone to kill another?

[retellers]

I did not.

[recrowns]

Mm. I believe you.

[rather easily]

But it's a theory that's been passed around, given that some think that Virid was encouraged to kill. It's made me wonder if it's one of the Leaders, or something else.

[retellers]

So I have heard. You have all been asking us about that frequently.

[recrowns]

Ah.

Are we adding to the tension on accident?

[retellers]

It is no fault of yours. In any case, we won't let it distract us from our persisting duties, so do not worry in that regard.

[recrowns]

Mm, I can believe in that much. Even still...

I spoke with Swan - and they seemed to truly believe that it's unlikely that you'll all be able to get along.

[retellers]

[ he looks thoughtful. ] I don't think ill of any of the others. [ wow much surprise. at least two of the other npcs think goat is a moron but it's fine he's not quite aware of that. ] Swan is young. They have a very kind heart, but because of that kindness, they also feel very strongly about things. It is inevitable that they will clash with others [ tiger ], at times.

[recrowns]

[THE WAY THAT SOO-WON HAS TO FUCKING KILL THOSE NPCS

anyway,]

... you know, Swan is very fond of you, too.

[retellers]

[ he smiles a little at that. ] And I, them.

[recrowns]

[there's just a bit of a laugh]

Then I hope that you'll continue to be kind to each other.

I still need to chat with everyone individually... but so far I like all of you just fine.

[retellers]

Everyone is doing their best in their own way--even those who may not seem outwardly affected.

[recrowns]

[he nods at that]

That's what I'd heard.... Rabbit seems like a bit of an open book, and I think that Wolf is more honest than not.

But of the first three I met, I'm afraid I know Fox the least - but it sounds as though they're also the type to obscure their feelings a bit.

[retellers]

[ they think for a moment. ] ... Yes, that sounds right. Fox tries to stay composed when they can. That is part of what makes them better at dealing with people than most of us, but I don't always know what they're thinking.

[recrowns]

Mm.... it's impressive and not something I can't say that I understand.

[given that soo-won also tries to stay composed more often than not]

I just hope that they aren't trying to take everything on by themselves.

[retellers]

I think they might feel an additional sense of responsibility... They are the oldest after me, after all. Though perhaps they are always like that.

[recrowns]

Hmm.... Maybe you'll need to support each other as the eldest, then.

[retellers]

I don't think Fox thinks that highly of me after I accidentally knocked Rabbit out...

[recrowns]

[there's just a bit of an amused smile at that]

Perhaps not - but we do have some time to try to mend ties, don't we?

[jan just playercest]

[retellers]

[ STOP ] I don't think they dislike me, per se... I believe they are an understanding person, at least. Though given that we are in different, ah, "groups" for our duties, I don't have the chance to see them that often anymore.
