This is...this is...

How could anyone...? Those poor people...

I don't - I can't - I don't understand! How could anyone just do something like that? I can't believe the 4423 did it, but whoever did...how? Why? What...

*worried*

Tohru, why don't you go lie down?

[voice]

[smilin_through]

Ah? Miss Rikku?

I'm...I'm fine. I am. it's just...so horrible.

[voice]

[tiny_tinker_toy]

I know, but listen. Someone has to know who did it, and eventually it'll come out. It's not the 4423.

[smilin_through]

I don't think it is! But it doesn't matter who, there are people that do things like that! Why?

[huffpuff_wolfie]

Miss Tohru, why don't you and I do some baking? To take your mind off things. We could make your favorite dessert...

[smilin_through]

Okay...

We should make everyone's favourite dessert, though, or at least several different ones - everyone must be upset.

[huffpuff_wolfie]

Good idea.

... Uh, do you know everyone's favorite dessert?

[smilin_through]

Not everyone's, no...Miss Giselle probably does, though, she's much better at that sort of thing than me. We could ask.

Or we could just make lots of different things and hope people like them. I do know some people's favourites...

How? It was explained.

Why? Profit. What profit is the question.

[smilin_through]

They explained how they did it, but I meant how could they bear to do something like that to all those poor people, not how did they make it work.

...I don't know what profit could be big enough to do something like that.

[heir_of_fire]

How they could bear to? Are you really that naive? Many people don't care that much about others.

In the end it's usually one of three things, money, power or a vendetta.

[smilin_through]

I know they don't, I just don't understand how they can not. People are all different, yes, but I can't imagine not caring.
