Silent films like that used to be way more common, but I've never seen one in real time, either... If the subject and plot were any different, it might have been kind of cool.
[ @ hotel owner please fix your taste. ]
Right? It's even worse than the prism! They made it a spectacle there, too, but not, like, a whole movie. And def not with everything breaking...
Depends on what they chose. If they chose combat, someone else would go in with them. But if they chose execution, they'd go in alone. We got stuck being the audience either way.
We had to be there, so in that sense, yeah. But we could look away, or bring headphones to drown it out. That's what we ended up doing for Kumopi most of the time.
...I mean, I think it was only Kumopi who did in the prism? Preeeetty sure the rest of us watched, since we were responsible for voting for them and all... but it stressed Kumopi out a lot, so it was better that he didn't.
Yeah, I get that... It feels worse not to watch when you helped it get to that point, but - I bet the people who are involved up there wish nobody was watching, at the same time.
I'm, like, ninety-nine percent sure they did. The thing about the prism's executions is that a lot of what happened in there was very personal stuff - conversations they'd had with someone else, memories of their lives before the prism, stuff like that... All sorts of things that would distress someone until they couldn't go any further.
It helped us understand them a little better, I guess, but... it still felt wrong for us to see.
Yep. Things that happened to them before and during their stay in the prism were all broadcasted for us. Sometimes we'd get to feel what they felt, too.
It didn't feel right, learning things about them that way. It's better to hear it from the person themselves.
It didn't stop him from feeling everything, but it made it a little easier for him, at least. I don't want to say he's, like, delicate, but he def took it way harder than anyone.
Yep. If it's really him and not some illusion, he's probably really scared, so I hope they're not, like, keeping them in a dungeon or something. They should at least have nice rooms like we do, you know?

...I just wish their sense of entertainment were different.

[he sighs, but he nods]
Yeah. It's not really a shock to think they find that entertaining, after what all the rooms this week were like, but - it's still cruel.

Was it not like that where you were from, then? Did people just go in alone?

Would've been nice if we got that option. [...] I mean - not nice. Just, you know what I mean. It would've been better if nobody else got hurt.

Jeez... You mean, using things that'd happened to them before against them, and letting everyone watch?

I get why at least one of you decided not to watch, then. That's horrible.

I bet he'd want his brother more, but I do what I can. I just hope they're treating him and the other hostages well while we're here.

Oh - he's the person you came here for?
