It seems... unfair, that the people we keep losing are the ones who least seem to even need redemption.
[charlie and adolphe... but then there's dan.]

It may be part of our trial, but I don't think it's right.
No. Why would it? It doesn't make any sense. It isn't as though the ones who were killed failed.
We can try. I want another chance for myself, but I don't want to consent to some notion of redemption where some of us are sacrificed but it's fine if we answer correctly about which way we'd send the trolley. I'm too stubborn for that.
Property destruction? Malfeasance? You may be right.
[Girl why does so much happen... all the time. Lucas is probably out by the water somewhere again unless she wouldn't be there and then they can be wherever the heckie she is, or in the void. But! He'll nod whenever he spots her.]
...We have some answers now, it seems, but not as many as I'd like to have.

[no we can be out there that's fine. she's tired but she dragged her ass out to the beach because it's where everybody goes to be aesthetically sad.]
It doesn't seem that any of them will do anyone much good right now.

We'd better start watching more closely for anyone behaving oddly.
[man, though.]
And the angels promised to... communicate better. Which I suppose is all we can ask for now.

...I do worry that too much damage has been done for some people to be able to trust them, even if they make improvements... But any improvement will be a good thing to see.
[He is so worried about so many people and so many things.]
I feel a bit silly now, though. He was cavalier on Friday when we spoke, but I'd just assumed it to be his attempt at lightening the mood a bit.

They must demonstrate themselves to be worthy of trust, rather than asking for trust that has not yet been earned.
[it's pretty simple. she's willing to give them a little more time to meet that demand, but not willing to budge on it.]
Hawke was? He's always somewhat like that.

I think that's a reasonable request.
[Not everyone treats trust the way he does, in the same way not everyone treats faith. He understands it, at least. Then, after a little hum:]
I did think the same, though it may have been a little more than what I'd experienced in the past. ...If changes don't begin to manifest until Saturday, then there isn't much we'll be able to do to preempt an attack.

Some signs do seem to manifest sooner, but whether we'd be certain enough to do anything is another matter entirely.
[no one is going to tie someone up and declare them possessed because they didn't feel like kissing a bird gently.]
How was he acting?

[They did accuse someone for wearing a different ribbon.]
Just - making light remarks about different ways to fortify the barriers. Buttering the floors.
[That too may have simply been Hawke, but it was the cavalier way in which it was delivered that gives him pause on retrospect.]

Even if it was his typical mood, it would be odd not to realize he might not act that way around you.
[Just a soft sigh.]
I hadn't thought overly-much of it since he did joke a bit to lighten the mood last week, and I wasn't really thinking about many things in general, yesterday... [He had to dedicate his one braincell to Yves.] But it may be something to consider, at least. Strange behavior potentially as early as Friday. Certainly it begins as early as Thursday night, if both Garrett and Jing Yuan are metrics to measure by.
