Trust each other?

[There's a short laugh here.]

How can we do that when one of us can turn into a murderer at any moment?

[polyapathy]

We don't get turned into murderers. We get possessed by a demon that uses us to do their dirty work. There's a difference.

[Is there? In her mind, yes, but she understands it's a little bit of grasping at straws.]

Look, I just got done talking to Nathan. You're not the first person that's been more in favor of closing ranks this week.

[She says that with the exasperation of a girl that's had one too many conversations about distrust and playing their cards close to their chest.]

But he says none of us have any reason to distrust each other based on who we are before the demon gets into us. That's a tool we can use.

[scapecat]

We have no reason to distrust each other until we start telling each other things that they use to accuse us of being the killer!

[She throws her hands up in frustration.]

Edelgard took what she knew about you and used it against you.

[Katy sighs. She fully gets the exasperation, is the thing. But.]

I can't believe I'm defending her right now, but what if I had been the demon? Edelgard was full of shit, but if she really thought I was possessed, I can't fault her for coming after me. That's what we're here to do, plain and simple.

The trouble I have is that she threw me under the bus because she was grasping at straws.

[scapecat]

Yeah, yeah. Think what you want. Just don't be surprised when she does it again. She'll take action for the sake of it.

...

You'd really be okay with her accusing you if you were a demon? Because that's still... not really you.

[polyapathy]

[She's quiet for a moment.]

...If I were possessed by a demon that made me kill someone, yeah, I'd want her to accuse me. It's not like I want to, you know... get exorcised, but... If that's what it takes to get everyone out of here, then yeah. Yeah, I'd want someone to catch me.

[scapecat]

Man. I guess I gotta hand it to ya. That's comically noble.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that and you have to put it all to the test.

[polyapathy]

It's not, really. Staying possessed wouldn't do me any good, either. If I'm choosing between death and playing host to a piece of shit like that, it's not a tough decision.
