Or whether we’re just one more influx making the issue worse. I guess that’s something we need to pick at over the next week, if we want to get anywhere with this.

I’d agree, but someone did point out he was forced to kill family. That’s gotta have some heavy weight to it. [ … ] It was someone people didn’t dislike in the way we all weren’t fond of Qi Rong, pitted against someone who’s well liked. That made it personal across the board.
Well, yeah, I guess making it worse is more accurate, since they've been around for a while. I'd kind of had the impression at first that we'd been brought here to help stop them, but it seems more like it's the other way around now.
[ There's a bit of a pause on her end after that family comment too, and she frowns for a second before shaking herself out of it. ]
It did feel like it was directly in response to all the complaints about how cruel last week was, didn't it? Like, "if you thought that was bad, we'll do you one better." ...It'd be nice if they'd lay off now that the point was proven, but I don't have much faith in that.
Something like that. Whatever we’ve been brought here for feels more like we’re being laid out on an altar, than being asked to lead the ceremony.
[ sacrificers, rather than the people designated to swoop in and provide the rescue. ]
Weird how they know who to pick as well. But that just means we’re being watched then. And then they’re using what they know to step in and make things worse for us.
I mean, they knew enough about us all to fill out those scrolls, so I guess that shouldn't be too much of a surprise. It's less weird that they're watching us here than in our own worlds, at least.

It’s kinda weird no matter what, honestly.
