...that's where I'm getting stuck, too. The only thing I can think of is that something specific needs to happen at certain times, and to make sure it happens correctly that's where people are being controlled or the environment's being controlled. We don't have any proof that the people killing each other are being controlled, but we know the campus is manipulated by some kind of power.
And anyway, you can't tell me you think anybody would willingly go into that arena to fight to the death without being control, can you?
Two people killed someone. Of course, I believe the majority would be unwilling to step foot into the arena, especially when faced with someone they had no motivation to kill. But that doesn't mean that there isn't anybody here with no conviction to kill at all.
Sure. But the point stands. Even the people who had conviction to kill likely wouldn't want to be caught or punished for being caught. It's like the school's way of reminding us that even if people do make their own choices here, it has the ultimate say in what happens.
I don't disagree. However, I do think that if there are multiple killers... One of them could climb into the arena without being coerced. That's all I'm saying. No one would suspect them if they played the part of unwilling executioner.
The bigger picture is that there is something drastically wrong with this world, and the longer we're here the more we're going to discover. Not to mention that there's a bigger reason why murder's happening at all.
My question is whether they're being coerced to kill, or doing it of their own free will. I agree that it isn't a coincidence, however... But that doesn't mean there still can't be private disputes that get out of hand.
[ that's literally just muddling the waters with details and completely missing the point of what taichi just said, but, look, ]
Does that matter so much right now until we get details? It means either there's something big enough that's worth doing it at the risk of getting caught, or there's something dangerous enough that they feel they have to go along with it even at the risk of getting caught.
I sincerely doubt people are just going and killing people just because of unrelated fights. Hanayagi was planning to kill Tomoe before that Thursday, and it's likely that whoever killed Lan Wangji was planning this ahead of time, too. Everyone I've spoken to has said he wasn't exactly the type to pick fights and piss people off.
So. Pretty sure that rules out the private dispute thing.
How am I supposed to know? I didn't know anyone who died or what kind of people they were. [ He's probably more flippant about this than he should be. ]
But, fine. I guess that makes the most sense. I'll let you do the work and get in touch with you next week, since it seems you're well on your way to figuring it out.

Fine, then what do you think the control's actually for?

[ he shrugs. yeah he doesn't really know. ]

...either way, the answer's not the greatest.

Just as before, there's no real answers. Even with new information... It doesn't lead anywhere.

It's not a random occurrence at this point.
