If they wanted something new and unexpected, that does meet both, but if there was nothing in there... that's wasted effort.

[selfimmolation]

It left a lot of space to crush a body.

[ what a day that was. ]

[disingenuous]

[ well. okay. ]

That seems a bit brutal. I want to say I hope there was a good reason for that, but it doesn't seem right to.

[selfimmolation]

... You know, I never found out?

[disingenuous]

Would you be insulted if I said I'm somehow not surprised?

[selfimmolation]

Hey, hey, in my defense, by the time we figured out he did it, it'd been weeks already. And he'd killed so many other people it felt sort of pointless to ask why?

[disingenuous]

A serial killer? I don't know if I've heard of one of those yet. Did you at least ask why he was killing so many?

[selfimmolation]

He was twelve and not all there. I think he thought he was doing people a favor.

[ think because. who knows why this child did anything. ]

[disingenuous]

Twelve years old....

[ she doesn't think age stops some from doing things, and this 12 year old obviously did a lot of things. ]

It sounds like he needed some help. Maybe long before he met any of you.

[selfimmolation]

[ honestly he also doesn't think age stops people from doing things but he was not the official child babysitter and that's why the kid murdered (no) ]

Yeah. People thought so too. And I think they were trying to steer him the right way... but that meant they were trying to protect him too.

And he was kind of a ghost. [ that muddled things. ]

[disingenuous]

Sometimes, protecting someone makes them worse.

[ she tilts her head. ghost does complicate it a little. ]

I don't know enough about ghosts to know if they can be changed or grow or if they're stuck as how they are when they died.

[selfimmolation]

You're not going to protect anyone if you don't try knocking some sense into them from time to time.

[ he says it wryly because he has been the one. knocked into. a few times. moving on; ]

I've heard they can, but I'm no expert. All I know is other people took responsibility for the kid so I let them have it.
