When you lay it out like that it sounds worse and worse by the minute. [it's terrible, actually.] Even before that, those people were taken and sent somewhere that could've killed them. Like it wasn't bad enough we have to solve these mysteries ourselves.
[ she is clenching her fists hard at her side, her knuckles white. ]
But we - there is nothing we can do from inside this cage. This anger will keep building higher and higher and it still does not change the confines of our situation.
...in a way, it feels like we're meant to be angry so that more and more people will act out of anger. It's a trap all the way through, and unless we know how to break out of the cycle this is going to keep happening.
I don't know what to do either but commiserate with everybody else. But even then...that's not really a solution, is it?
Regardless of what they want from us, we have to stick together. Regardless of if we may betray one another - be it by compulsion or otherwise - we have to stick together.
I don't disagree. I really don't. That's why I think it's important we keep talking to each other and figure out what to do. It's only been a few weeks, but...it's obvious that something big happened and the people who killed Lan Wangji don't trust us to tell us the truth.
Compulsion has its own problems, too, doesn't it? Because if they're compelled there's no telling where it'll stop. It's too convenient for them to be compelled and their will to break free right after a kill.
There's no good answer. What the hell is the point of a school if we aren't learning anything?
It's not that I don't like the classes. It's that I think a lot of them actually aren't going to help us do much of anything except distract us from what's happening.
Maybe just make sure to go to one anyway. We still don't know what happens if we do skip...and with everything else that happens here I don't know if that's a risk we should take yet anyway.
You and me both. [which is, as usual, annoying.] But now that we know that's a thing, maybe we should be keeping an eye out for anything unusual. It might give us a lead or something.
Yeah...if we know each other better we can pick up on things faster. [...] Should I take that to mean you've been trying to be nice to everybody still?

I don't know what to do with that.

I like the idea of it being compulsion. I prefer that, to the idea that there are those who could rest easy after what they've done.

However, I consider myself a deeply loyal person.

[he...does not elaborate on that, exactly.]
But it's not a bad thing to be. Loyal. And nice to people.

Luxanna, let me ask you something. If you were torn between two different loyalties, how would you pick between them?
