As horrible as these murders are, it seems no one cares much anymore. It's interesting how quickly people get used to these things. But we can't have anything as trivial as murders disrupting our summer plans, now can we?

The Ministry certainly seems to agree. I'm sure the picnic was delightful.

I don't know where you've gotten the idea that nobody cares.

[mist_illusions]

People seem rather quick to go back to their usual summer activities. That would imply they don't particularly care.

You expect us to sit around and worry all day?

[mist_illusions]

I don't expect you to do anything. I am, however, interested in what you do choose to do.

What on earth gave you that impression?

[mist_illusions]

Oh, plenty of things. Mostly the picnic and the general lack of reaction. People are getting tired of it all, I suppose.

[dofaye]

Do you expect us to write about our sorrows each and every time a death is announced? That would be a waste of paper.

There are murders going on...?
