Is it really so hard to behave yourselves?

[ she sounds annoyed, but less cold than usual, as if her surface has been cracked just slightly ]

Or is it that I merely expect too much of a group of people who have no possibility of understanding the situation they're actually in?

I wonder, Nuadoria.

... are you gonna do something about that?

[codeify]

If I must.

I can't tell exactly what's going on, but isn't a kid getting hurt? Isn't that kind of -- ... requiring action?

The situation is currently out of my hands. I'll step in only if it's necessary for me to do so.

[redeify]

I suppose I can answer Gamma's question, at last.

[codeify]

If you have something to say, Dai, say it. I'm in no mood for your games today.

[redeify]

I would have assumed justice to be the honourable course here, rather than chastisement from on high. Are you afraid to dirty your nails, Ava?

[codeify]

If they cannot learn how to take care of these problems by themselves, then they stand no chance of surviving here. Eventually, they'll all die. One by one, without question.

It's funny, in a way, how you pretend you care.

It's unfair to generalize, wouldn't you say?

[voice]

[voice]

[codeify]

Whether you approve or not is irrelevant.

[blackfoxed]

...

And that answers that.

voice

[codeify]

Were you expecting something different?

voice

[blackfoxed]

Expecting, no.

Hoping? Yes.

voice

[codeify]

May I ask what you were hoping for, then?

[undeify]

I suppose it was too much to ask of them.

[codeify]

They'll learn, one way or another.

[undeify]

...I'm beginning to wonder. What a mess.

[codeify]

We don't have to talk about them. Are you well?
