[The idea of another party being in their collective futures just makes him SIGH VERY BIG.]

Things've been escalating real fast over the last couple of days... I don't really wanna see what the next step might be, either. It doesn't sound like anyone knows what to expect, now.

[Not even the residents...]

If it keeps going in that direction, I think it's not a far leap to guess what to expect. Even if we won't know how it gets there or with what extraneous items.

...Yeah. If we're building a profile on the dangers we're up against that might end up that way, we've already got a pretty tough enemy at hand.

[Not that he feels antagonistic toward the prism, but classifying it as an enemy in the moment seems fair.]

[ It's enemy enough in her eyes, too. ]

Even if it's because it reacts to us, that doesn't make it acceptable.

[ They're all different people, and there's no way to control everyone. ]

Either way, it's ridiculous, and I want to be able to do something about it.

[That's exactly what he said to Buzen earlier - that this is how people would feel, in general. It's not like he can't understand or disagrees, anyway.]

I think we all do. The question is, how do we start moving things in the right direction when we don't even know what direction we're supposed to be heading in? I dunno - I totally don't have an answer for that.

I don't have an answer for that either. We don't know the right direction, but the only way we can go somewhere is if we move.

We might have to chance being wrong.

[ And suffer a little in order not to suffer the most. ]
