[ that gets a soft snort out of him, actually. gu yun's coming in to get a drink, so.

a bit idly; ] Fairness, is that what I said?

It wasn't so much about that. [ he doesn't sound particularly bothered. ] Though, there certainly wasn't much to that situation.

None whatsoever. [ she says, flatly. ] So, now what? We're supposed to just accept that Wondergirl gets punished for something she apparently didn't do?

[liuli]

I don't know.

[ truthfully, he doesn't! and that's the worst! ] I suppose the blame for it falls on those who voted. We could have abstained.

The entire thing feels manipulative, doesn't it?

Well, I don't know about you, but I wanted to see what would happen before throwing anyone to the proverbial wolves. They weren't exactly forthcoming about what their form of "justice" meant.

[ she leans an elbow on the counter with a sigh. ]

...Seems obvious, doesn't it? All this, after drawing us here by dangling [ waves a hand through the air ] whatever we all want? If that isn't the very definition of manipulation, I don't know what is.

No - and none was achieved, certainly.

[ considering their incredibly wrong choice. that... wasn't wrong at all. ]

The entire thing was a farce - Beauregard was just as much a victim as Tamaki was. The question is, who set it up that way? Why frame someone for murder, and then have us perform like iron puppets for entertainment?

What was it they said while we were in there? The place will warp itself to suit our indulgences? We’re being set up for just that - entertainment.

[ scoff. ]

Honestly, it’s not that surprising. It’s like the Romans with their Colosseum - death for entertainment is all the rage out there.
