I suppose there's no way to truly know now-- the way this seems to be going, any one of us could be a victim simply because our nova started splintering and anyone could be a killer for having to address it. To say nothing of killing for a different motive, like fulfilling a murder requirement or trying to get a memory back.

It's best not to get tangled up in the details, I know. Or we won't figure out a thing.

Ascribing that level of trust to the cause is just asking for disappointment. Taking the good with the bad is one thing, but pulling faith for the sake of shaking answers out of a person by grabbing her hand is nothing more than emotional blackmail—to say nothing of the resultant hurt on either side. There are tidier ways to collect information.]

[ Dorothy's sigh is quieter. ]
Making an agreement with you in the beginning was fine-- because I knew you'd give me information as long as I did the same.
But now people are... [ She waves a hand ] ... trying to insist it's about trust and relying on each other and I think it's two very different things.
