About more people dying or who died?

[Where ever they are, he's sitting on a ledge and swinging his feet. He looks... ambivalent. Not upset but not but quite as devil may care as last week.]

[sacredpath]

About the dying in general. Though, come to think of it, maybe both - at least in one case.

Those apples were compelling temptations.

[peripheries]

Apples?

[sacredpath]

The new location this week. The apples in it - the ones that encourage us to kill other people.

[He didn't enter the garden of Eden because that's like cool symbolism that would be in Eva.]

Wouldn't more people be dead if that were so? Those are deep-seated desires of many humans and should tempt them easily.

[sacredpath]

You would think, wouldn't you?

[you little gremlin.]

But people are also inclined to distrust and skepticism of things that seem too good to be true, and that can be a saving grace. [...] Also I suppose some people may have morals.

[peripheries]

Too good to be true... for now. Humans will always choose pleasure and work to avoid pain. If this place becomes increasingly intolerable then what is promised to them by the apple is more enticing.

Morals will be put to the test.

[And he doesn't sound confident they'll pass that test. Don't trust a ho etc.]

[sacredpath]

[yeah ok middle school child.]

But not you? You're different?

[peripheries]

Yes. I'm not human, after all. Their morals and norms mean little to me. So I don't have the same temptations. For now anyway.

[sacredpath]

Are there not things you want?

[you seem like you really want to kiss boys.]

[peripheries]

Yes. But I don't want anything they've offered so far.

[THERE'S NO KISS A BOY APPLE GODDAMN.]

[sacredpath]

[if there was a kiss boys apple we'd all be dead.]

Neither do I. They could get a lot more specific and have a better chance.
