[Lucas is out by the gazebo shortly after trial! Just kind of taking a hot second to breathe and come back down from the absolutely insane emotional rollercoaster the last thirty minutes or so were for him, in spite of his put-together demeanor. Can Yves stop being suspicious for one trial. He is going to eat his own left fist.
Whenever he spots Shadowheart, though, she'll get a little nod.]
There could hardly ever be anything satisfying in uncovering the bloodied hands of a person who was presumably forced into the act against their will, after all...
[That flash of anger they all saw just brought him back to Zhongli's comment about wrath.]
[Another slow nod. He stares off toward the flowers quietly, thinking.]
I do assume that might be what's happening, at least... A sin amplified in each individual impacted, or something along those lines. It does feel like a very biblical interference.
They're somewhat familiar to me, but not precisely... It does put those of us without any knowledge at a slight disadvantage in terms of knowing what to potentially expect and how signs may manifest.
I would agree with that, though it says quite a bit that they need to twist and compel us in order to get us to "fail". Even the apple tree was presumably left untouched.
[Unless Neverah was both possessed and wanted an apple super bad which would be wild.]
From what I recall, Garrett was also quite irritated with the fact that people kept asking him why he'd done what he did. The answer that he gave was obviously unsatisfactory, and I imagine that when others pressed for more, he also didn't have much else to give.
No. I had the same frustrating experience with him - he kept insisting he did it to prove he was "better," but wouldn't explain what he meant. Though I admit I am not a great interrogator. I swiftly lost patience with both of them.
You're a better interrogator than I am... After Jing Yuan and hearing just a bit of conversation from the other two, I chose not to ask either of them more directly for their reasons.
[Good to know(???) he was not wrong in assuming they were all bad and insane.]

Holding up alright after all of that?

I think I'll never get used to that feeling, right at the end. It almost feels good to solve them, to make progress, like we're going to win.
And then we have to confront who may have done it, and all of that just vanishes.

So, I tried to ask her about it. She insisted she killed Su Waner because she was weak and terrible, and she was doing all of us a favor.

He makes a little bit of a grim expression.]
Well. That makes about as much sense as the reasons I got from the other two, in that it makes no sense at all and hardly seems within her character.
