For the dorm heads? I dunno, either. I think... I'm sure there's plenty of shit they can't say, and the last thing we want is to make them regress back.
[ there's a clear pang of deep unhappiness, with that. worry, too. after, though, he's thoughtful for a second, falling quiet. ]
...if we can find the people who are a part of the other thing... I wonder if questioning them, or - trying to talk to them about it in private might help, instead of in a big public setting like that. Maybe on a day early in the week, nowhere near a trial or - a killing, or anything.
When I talked to Rupert, there were even a lot of us around. That could've been part of why he kept quiet, too. To keep the rest of us safe.
...I don't know. I'm worried that even if they're alone, just one on one with us, someone will still get hurt. I don't want to hurt anybody just in the pursuit of information. Not if there's still another way we can find it somehow.
It's how I feel about the dorm heads, too. We can keep buying information from them and keep talking to them and updating them, but I don't want to push them to a breaking point either.
The problem is the flow of information isn't going far enough or fast enough. We have to wait every week for documents from the school to be given to the dorm heads for us to buy. Plus the mystery notes that show up in people's lockers or whatever.
...and we still don't know about the possession thing, do we. Like Sieghart's case.
[ugggggh.]
Dude, I'm still not any better at this than I was five weeks ago.
his emotions flicker a little bit - a quiet protectiveness, overlapping everything. a little pain, too. ]
....I do - I know a little. About the possession thing. [ ... ] I know who killed Sieghart, but I can't tell you who.
It's only a little, though. I know the person who got it woke up on Thursday night feeling like they had to kill Sieghart to fix the entire place, and that didn't go away until after the trial on Saturday.
...can you at least tell me if they're okay now? [that's the primary concern judging by the worry that ripples through him immediately.]
That's somehow even weirder though. If they didn't have any feelings or inclinations before Thursday, then...what the hell could be causing it? [...] And if it was meant to fix this place, doesn't that kind of sound like it's the opposite of what Otome-san was saying?
Like...the people who are assigned to kill are trying to save us from this world. But the people possessed are trying to save this world from us instead.
They're...okay. They're handling it the best they can. I think that person is going to want to tell, when the time's right.
[ his emotions match taichi's again - concern, worry, that faint hint of protectiveness, too. ]
It's frustrating, cause - if it happens when they wake up, then there's no way for us to try and cut it off at the pass, either. [ he pauses, chewing over the opposite theory. ] ... I can try and find out a little more. I think... if I ask them about it, I might be able to get a little more information - I just didn't wanna push.
[ sometimes someone gets compelled into murder 8( ] Maybe you're onto something. I hope so.
I really hope people aren't assholes about it, considering the circumstances. [he WILL throw hands if he has to.]
The worst part is even if we could cut it off, if they're being controlled no amount of reasoning is gonna help us get through to them. [...there's a sigh.]
If you can without pushing them, I agree. We need to look at both sides and figure out what we're really up against. It's...[a hand scrubs at his face.] This all kind of feels familiar in a way I'm really, really not happy with.
Yeah. Before we got here, we had to do something that neither of us really wanted to do even though it was the right thing in order to save the world. But...there was this entity that told us their actions were meant to maintain harmony and balance in the Digital World no matter the cost. At the same time, there was another entity whose goal was to revive all of the Digimon who'd been lost so they could destroy Earth.
We had to make a few choices back then, and they all kind of felt like losing ones for a while. We still don't exactly know what's going to happen when we get home because our last battle finished and we were brought here.
