We have to trust each other, knowing that anyone might be lying.

[ That's not an argument, it's her reiterating and agreeing. ]

... I won't blame people who have a hard time doing that.

[preceptive]

It's not an easy thing to do.

[applechemist]

Do you think we'll manage?

As a group, I mean.

[preceptive]

[...

he

has to think about that.]

[applechemist]

[ That's not promising! ]

[preceptive]

... I don't know most people here well enough to say.

[applechemist]

That's fair...

[preceptive]

What about you?

[applechemist]

I want to think that we can do it.

It seems like everyone is trying to look out for each other so far... And there are a lot of really smart people with us.

[preceptive]

You saw how quick everyone was to turn on Monika.

[applechemist]

... And they were right.

[ Even if Escha didn't like it, and didn't want to be wrong... Unfortunately, it was kind of a good thing that she was in the minority? Hrmg. This sucks. ]

[preceptive]

Probably could've done without beating her up before we got the results, though.

[applechemist]

I don't think that was right, either.

[ ........... But. ] But she was being really mean.

[preceptive]

Don't know if I'd call that really mean.

[applechemist]

She was trying to frame Katy. If that had worked, Katy would get... Killed in her place.

[ And that's pretty mean! ]

[preceptive]

We weren't sure of that at the time, though.

Well, it doesn't matter now. But I'm still reserving judgment for how well this group handles itself under pressure.

[applechemist]

[ That's valid. ]

We might get better at handling it over time... Although obviously I would rather something changes before anything like that can happen again.

[preceptive]

The sooner we deal with this, the better.

[especially because he, on the other hand, believes that they'll get worse before they get better at it........]

[applechemist]

[ That's..... also valid. ]

It's hard to know how to break the system. That's what it would mean to 'deal with it,' right?

[preceptive]

Break it, or figure out just what we were brought here for.

[applechemist]

I think that we were just brought here for... This. I think this is it.

[preceptive]

Then, why would someone send us to a place to both summon demons and exorcise them?

[applechemist]

I don't know why they want us to do both sides, but...

They brought us here and they're providing us with all the items and instructions we need. There's the whole system and all the rules and special rules and recordings of the past groups that went through the same thing...

[preceptive]

And that's what I'm wondering—what the purpose of all this is. You don't just do this to people for fun.

[applechemist]

We don't know that.

... But it is unlikely, huh? So I wonder what there is to gain from it. Research, maybe...?
