II／Murder Study (Revision) - Backdated to Monday

[puppeteerings]

[Phone ; Public]So the chaos has finally settled down, and this is the type of game this town is in habit of pulling? Rather crudely done, and I've seen some tasteless things back home. At any rate, while I'd also rather let bygones be bygones, this can still be a good time to revise a few things. Namely, I'll review a study in homicide, the

You're actually trying to tell people to be fine with being killed?

[puppeteerings]

No, that's too much. Becoming accustomed to it would make living here much easier, but ordinary people shouldn't have to even consider such grim ideologies. I'd rather have people rethink about killing; in a town like this, things can only get worse.

[ that's not what it sounded like to her... but welp if the event has taught her anything it's the futility of arguing the value of anything to people here ]

We don't know what this town actually means to do with any of us so who knows which of our actions is actually what they want us to do? I don't... Maybe they want us to become inured to death and dying exactly so what you said will happen. We'll get used to living here.

[Hey at least she's listening... There's a difference between not acknowledging period and being unswayed because you've seen enough to establish a set form of values!]

Ah, I'll give you that much. Maybe they want us to become indifferent, maybe they want us to blame each other on who killed who, or maybe they just don't care. We don't know anything, but we do know odds, and we can determine what sort of consequences it'll have on us. What'll happen if we tear at each other and allow vengeful ideas and grudges to take over? It'll just make things harder for us, not them. What'll happen if we stopped getting worked up for this? We get a better grip on our own situation. It's true that becoming too jaded would be bad, but I doubt that most people would be capable of such. Going by that, it's easier on people if they let go.

It's too easy to say that it's just the town that made you do these things... But it's still people who chose to kill each other. I'd probably agree that it's better to move on... if I hadn't- [ she's honest enough to admit that ] I was one of those people who died. In your own terms, I'm even one of those ordinary people. That person who killed me... [ and she may still be railing about it but that she's concealing the identity of the person who killed her even to the point of not mentioning her gender lol ] I don't know what I feel about them right now. Nothing to the point of wishing death on them too but still- [ and she just retreats from this point for all that she's a girl who charges on ahead with parts of a plan and half-sorted feelings ]

You said that the mental effects can be regulated right? How? How do I do that?

I'm not trying to argue against that. Some people are definitely more predisposed to kill than others, but the fact that death isn't permanent and the town incited it only heightened the odds. It's like setting up a development project and building tall skyscrapers on a well-known area prone to frequent earthquakes; it's just asking for trouble. [...] Mm, no. It's fine to feel that way, but keep in mind that grudges and vengeance tend to mostly harm the ones who harbor them. But even from there... Say that your killer gets killed in town. He or she will still come back the second day like nothing's ever happened. They may not even care that they died. Would you feel satisfaction from that? Would you get closure for what happened to you from that? Do you think that confronting them would solve anything for you? Even so, how? ...It's hard and tricky, but if you can come to answer these questions eventually, then maybe at that point, you will be able to let go
