Opinions without 3.1415 are just Onions (Week1 post trial)

[ghostricked]

After everything, the house seems almost too still and too mundane. At least as long as the doors to that room remain closed. One by one those covered in what was once their teammate are lead to the showers or change in silence. There is no warm meal waiting for them. No words of encouragement.

Life goes on, regardless.

What do you mean? Does it make a difference either way...?

[eyeforai]

Yes, if we're taking context into account. This case was the result of one person doing something very stupid as they tried to play around with something that they knew nothing about. There wasn't any real motive or malice in this case.

If someone's taking your gun to frame you for a murder, that's different. They'd need a good motive for that, especially having seen what happens to a murderer when they get caught. I'm not saying there isn't a motive that might drive someone to do this now, but I don't see the point.

But that's just my own thoughts. I can't say anything about yours.

...How do you know?

... [though his explanation does give her pause]

Their motive could be... they really hate me, for some reason. Or they think I'm weak enough they could get away with it.

... It was just something I was afraid of happening. I didn't say it was logical.

[He listens patiently to her explanation, with his expression softening a bit at the acknowledgement at the end.]

Fair enough. And sorry to corner you like that. It wasn't my intention to question you, but I didn't want you to worry so much.

[golden_dream]

...No, it's all right. [pause] I'm sorry to burden you with... my silly little fears.

[eyeforai]

It's alright. I understand.

[This has been a mess of a week and it doesn't look like it's getting better, so.]

Anyway, I'll be on my way. I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.
