Mm... When I talked to the staff, they said the person I'm here for was safe, so - hopefully safe also implies comfortable.

[dms]

Fingers crossed! But there's no reason for them not to be, IMO.

[ unless the staff is trying to force their hands into murder but we don't need to think about that ]

[agleam]

It kind of feels like there's no reason for a lot of this to be happening in the first place, but - yeah. You're right. So, fingers crossed.

[dms]

You aren't wrong. "Entertainment" is one thing, but... I don't know. It's not entertainment if real people are getting hurt.

[agleam]

It shouldn't be to anybody who's decent, at least. It's pretty clear whoever orchestrated this isn't decent, though.

[dms]

Mm... It sounds like a lot of people who came here were doing just fine at home, or even better than they were before. To take that away... it's kind of cruel, isn't it?

[agleam]

And even for people who weren't... If they had the ability to bring us all here, they could have brought us to somewhere safe and peaceful while we tried to figure out what to do next. There's no excuse for this place being the way it is.

[dms]

No, there's not. [ sighs. ] I wonder if there's another reason for it that we just don't know of. There's got to be something, right?

[agleam]

[he frowns, thoughtful.]

...I'm not sure what kind of reason could justify this. Sometimes - the reason for bad things happening is just that somebody is cruel and doesn't care who suffers as long as they aren't hurt.

[dms]

I don't know, either. But... I don't know. I want to believe it isn't all bad.

[agleam]

[after a moment, he nods.]

I don't think it's all bad, either. But... I think that the parts that are good have more to do with us than with whoever organized all of this.

[dms]

Mm... Well, it's kind of cool that we can visit old places, right? Like, if it weren't for everything else, it'd just be like a really weird tour.
