Good.

The team leaders are going to try to talk them down to another sentence. But I don't think it's going to work.

[selfimmolation]

They barely managed to get them to agree to whatever this was. We're way past talking things out.

[squelching]

Ox should have let Hanako stab the mayor.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. If things were going to end like this anyway, kid had a point.

[squelching]

He did.

[she sighs.]

Do you think the mayor's actually the one in charge, though? He looked a little...

[stupid. like maybe he can't even open a pickle jar...]

[selfimmolation]

I don't know. He didn't strike me as all there during the party. [ did he even notice he was almost stabbed. ] If he's just a figurehead...

[squelching]

... Snake said the order to execute Mika came from "someone important," but nobody would tell them who. If it came from the mayor, they would've just said so, right?

[selfimmolation]

... Goat said the same thing. Whoever actually came up with that--they've got to be the ones controlling things around here. Right?

[squelching]

That's what I think.

They might have done something to erase all the news coverage of what happened a month ago, too.

[selfimmolation]

The whole... dead heroes thing? You think?

[squelching]

And the big fight. I can't find anything about what happened to them, besides what the team leaders were willing to tell me.

Temenos said he managed to get some information from the civilians, so they can't have totally blocked out that flow... But if they didn't keep reporting after that, they wouldn't know the details of what happened either.
